Sitka Waders

[rjbrooks7]

Anybody have a pair? If so, thoughts? I’ve got a pair of Drake, Frogtogs (amazing for the money!) and old school Columbia’s. I’m wondering how the Sitkas holdup. Does the zipper stay watertight? Do the boot seems stay together? How warm are they? Basically, are the damned things really worth $1000? Because I know a half dozen fellas that swear once my Columbia’s go the way of the do-do I need to get Cabela Supermags.

I have no idea on the waders, I'm too cheap to buy anything Sitka.

I have a pair with the front zipper. I used them last season and hunt 2-3 days a week. This was mostly in crop fields in SE Texas. I like them because of the multiple size options and the boots fit my feet well. My front zipper also stayed watertight and was nice to open on warmer days. No leaks and have friends send their waders in for repairs and always came back leak free and even one with new boots.

I can’t say they are worth it for everyone, but I would buy them again.

Ty, have you worn them hunting elsewhere? Places where it’s drastically colder than SE Texas?

The guy I duck hunt with is ate up with the Sitka gear, and get it at a discount. He still can't make himself to pay for the waders lol.

I have worn them here in single digit temps breaking ice. I felt fine and wasn’t overly cold, but I did wear additional layers underneath that I wouldn’t have needed with neoprene.
