Dan, I bought a pair of these for my son for Christmas because of a previous review you had done about Dryft Waders. So far he absolutely loves them. Thanks for promoting quality gear.

Got their combo pants and waders, not the zip ones, about three months ago. Absolutely recommend them. Everywhere I fish is covered in blackberry bushes and poison oak. They are so solid and comfortable. Easy to layer up beneath and still allow for movement and flexibility. Anyone reading these comments, in the market for new waders, believe Dan and check them out. Two thumbs up and 5 stars. You’ll also be supporting the “little guy” instead of a corporation.

How much do you have to layer up? I live near Lake Erie. I used frogg togg neoprene waders now. i only wear thin pants with them. up top i still wear undershirt, shirt, sweatshirt and i put my carhartt jacket over the wader but keep open to access the pockets inside. I stay warm especially when i get moving.

@FlyFishDan 6 ай бұрын

@@JB-tz9pi I don't have to layer up any more than when I also used to wear neoprene. These are three season waders (spring, fall, winter) and do very well with insulating you out in the cold while being far more comfortable. You can argue that their breathability keeps you warmer because you don't become clammy with sweat while wearing them.

I’ll run two pairs of wool socks, second pair to tuck in the pants so sliding into the waders is easier. I’ll usually wear a pair of Orvis fleece lined pants, thermal shirt, long sleeve, a light jacket and a rain coat if it’s raining. Lowest temps might hit high 30’s at most so it’s not cold here, but I’m thin and get cold easily and I’m totally comfortable. There is still room to add another layer if needed and I can confidently say they still wouldn’t be restrictive. Hopping logs and boulders is really easy. I also wear a vest so I don’t use the built in pockets, but if you connect tippet holder, clippers and snips to either D ring a box of flies and a phone would fit really comfortably inside.

If you want to find the best waders ask Fishing Guides. Longevity is a good idea but how often does the person wear them. A weekend warrior is nothing compared to a Fishing Guide when it comes to longevity of a wader. I can relate to 1K for a pair though. I have always bought Simms products, but they don't let me down. I would get dry rot before they died. I have had a pair for 10+ years. I might try these next time. Drift looks well made. Although Simms claims USA made the Materials are from outside the USA, my guess is China because Drift says plainly the material they use is from China. My guess is it's the same production plant Simms uses

Well yea but Simms didn't endorse him to pump their stuff but looks like Dryft has

@FlyFishDan 6 ай бұрын

For the record :))- I reached out to DRYFT myself, I had friends recommend them after I tore my Simms. Both are great waders - DRYFT is just about 40% less because they are consumer direct. (Same quality)

Those Clips being opposite are not for hanging. This is so that on warmer days you can clip the suspenders together like a belt and roll them down. The elastic in the suspenders will keep the roll from unraveling.

I been wanting to get a pair but it's still expensive. I did however buy a Sun Wizard UPF Hoodie on sale the other day and used flyfishdan code which put a free winter neck sleeve in my cart. So that's cool! What boots pair well with the waders? I've only ever had bootfoot waders.

FFD, 'dem famn dancy zippy waders were always out of what I wanted to spend. Still rocking my legacy Simms and my only complaint is the color faded, which doesn't affect their performance. Wish Dryft would send me a nice pair to beat up; would even put out an inferior-quality review in return. I'll give these a look when my current pair starts leaking left and right; hopefully not for years. ☮ from the land of blown out rivers.
