hard to tell Jeff from the picture , but the material looks very thin as though made from some sort of plastic or cheap material like that . appears easily ripped or torn especially in the crotch area .

- Think I would pass on them seeing one they do not have a zippered front (we all know how handy that can be when you got to go )

- 2 the material looks flimsy and cheap (generic maybe the right word)

- 3 i can go on ebay and pick up a pair of brand new hodgman guidelite zippered waders for $80 right now That i know i can feel safe wearing for many of years

Yo jeff I was gonna get these but read lots of reviews and opted not to...lots of mixed feelings...it was a hit and miss u know so just picked up little Betta ones..check them out on amazon and read the reviews

when i first started tubing i got a pair of waders like that i think they were 10$ it was a plastic material that did not keep u warm at all and it sucked onto your legs like a plastic bag the worst things ever

Definitely sounds too good to be true!

I got those exact waders. They were great for the first year. For the last two years I have become good at fixing leaks. I expected much better!

Anybody? Anybody?
$15 is less than the gas to get there.
Might be a chance for a compare and contrast report.

only thing you can compare them to would be a plastic bag wrapped around your legs .. Like Fisher stated I had a pair that was similar to these as well back in my early tubing days and they vacuum right to your legs it is not a comfortable experience .  Now also take into consideration back then I was in a doughnut style tube and you where in the water up to your chest . I can tell you I got a new pair of waders in a hurry
