Waders

I bought these waders with the intention of using them for at least the next 10 duck seasons, and from the material thickness and build quality I don't think that should be an issue.

I got the medium-long waders and the are just that; long! I'm 6'1", 175lbs, and can wade almost up to my armpits in these things. Make sure you wear layers on those cold days since these don't have any insulation, and be prepared to get sweaty when you go hiking after a bird on a warm hunt day as these don't breath. I knew that going in to it, and opted for these waders in the name of durability.

Bonus that these are hand made in Oregon.

Built extremely well.

I’ve used the waders now for about 4 hunts and love them. They are much lighter than neoprene and are easier to walk in. Layering up makes them plenty warm and I have no doubt they will last many years. Only thing I don’t care for is they seem to build condensation in them in cold weather but that’s really not an issue. Your layers will be a little wet on the outside but not too bad. Overall I love them.

I have no complaints, 1 fishing season down with zero leaks! Money well spent! And made in Oregon!

Just received my new waders. They were delivered to me on time, liked how easy they made it to custom fit them, they look and feel great, Haven't used them yet, but can't wait!

I have a size 14 foot but a size 32 waist and 31 inch inseam . Buying normal waders that fit my body AND my feet is impossible. I guide 80 days a year and have suffered ill fitting waders for 30 years. My feet have been smashed and cold for way too many days. These waders have solved that problem! In addition I love the color selections and options. They are a little heavier than normal waders and don't breathe ( an over hyped function in most situations anyway) but I'll make that trade any day. The people at USIA are awesome to work with and if you think buying American and supporting small businesses is important then that is an added bonus!

See the headline, not much more needs to be said. Would be nice to have a long warranty on the entire product rather than just the seams

Really tough waders, just awesome. I actually intended to get the t zipper but selected the relife zipper, so now I pee awesomeness since I don't have to take my pack or any other gear off to answers nature's call. USIA I love you!

The first thing I noticed about these waders are the extremely high quality materials and excellent craftsmanship put into them. Everything from the Velcro on the pockets to the buckles on the shoulder straps and super high quality material. No cutting corners on materials that I could find. I'm a big guy at 6'8" and 270#'s, so I was ready and willing to order a custom pair. But after my measurements I found I fit into the XL long perfectly. If your used to neoprene, these will definitely have a different feel to the fit. They don't stretch and move with you like neoprenes do. This worried me when I first had them on around the house, but after my first duck hunt in them it wasn't a problem at all. The Bogs boots are EXTREMELY comfortable. Much more so than any other wader boots I've had on my feet. The waders come up higher on the chest than other waders I've owned do. Which allowed me to venture into deeper water to set and retrieve decoys. The waders are un-insulated which I noticed when in the water setting/retrieving decoys. But I wasn't layered for cold weather. The insulated Bogs were very warm, however. As the weather continues to get colder I'm sure proper layering will keep me nice and toasty. I've only used these in the field once so far and have a long season ahead to give them a proper test. But so far, I'm VERY impressed with these waders.
