I recently had a pair of tidewe waders and after wearing them all through duck and steelhead season I wore the heel on the inside of the boot completely out. Due to the waders being literally destroyed after a season I definitely don’t recommend tidewe waders unless you get the higher end options.
Didnt see the upper end tidewe waders, those are mid grade, do a review on the tidewe 1600g zipper waders and lets see your opinon then, oh and the boots are not anything like those tidewes.
Thanks for the info. Are the High & Dry sized tight or loss in the toe part of the boot and is the ankle part snug? Wide foot/thin ankle syndrome here, who walks. Hip boots are nice until ya step into a 5' gut! Thanks again
@@ryanwehrli9411 They are. Thats why they are left out of comparisons, no one can compare with them. Now you can buy a new pair of waders every couple years , or you can buy a pair of Chene’s with a lifetime warranty and be done. They are high I give you that, but what top of the line product isn’t ?
I feel like just getting some goofy pins and pinning them up lol. Gotta find some funny ones 🤣. I just got my set today! Can't wait for trout opener! Lol
Can Someone in the industry please let a manufacturer know, if they make a boot foot wader (breathable) with cleats on the boots you will sell tons. Means nothing to you southern guys probably but guys that fish and hunt in their waders will appreciate it. I’m tired of having to buy stocking foot waders and hunting waders.
I bought The High N Dry and got a leak on the first use. 4 holes in 3 years. They are not tough or durable. Personally will never buy again. Like the long straps, makes them easier to grab when putting on.
@@cowboycolt5014 mine has plenty of room the chest area to fit layers on. And I use the hip belt to tighten everything down tight to my body so there isn’t any material flopping around.
This is absolutely exactly what I was looking for. Great job guys
The Kuiu Wadder base layers (StrongFleece 290 Layering Pant) with the sturrip straps are money with the High N' Dry.

underrated and under appreciated video👍
Should review the TideWe deep wade zip waders
I feel the same way about high n dry dislike the same things you said but have a pair 3rd season still no Lea

I would say sizing is true to size. As far as ankle it has good support. Not crazy tight just a very comfortable boot
There’s NO wader that even comes close to a Chene Wader. Lifetime warranty, the boots feel like a fine house shoe. Best ever!
At $1100 they better be good and have a lifetime warranty my entire setup didn’t cost that much Jesus.

Sitka
@@ryanwehrli9411lmfao agreed lol
Great video. I’ll bet burning those straps will void warranty. Just make sure you are past the one year warranty on the HnD waders.
Nope we talked to them that’s what they recommended we do after fitment just cut and burn them.

@@Eclipse1988I’m a simple man couple zip ties won’t hurt em 😂

I agree, only problem is when you break all the cleats off are your waders shot then?
Just make them screw in and replaceable 👍.
How do you go about layering up with the breathable high n dry waders
All depends on temperature. If it’s freezing cold I’ll wear long Jon’s high and dry fitted sweatpants and another type of pant over that.
Merino wool or the under armor/ Nike dry fit style base layer tights. Even if you get wet you won’t really notice
We’re these the 800g or 1500g thinsulate boot?
I believe 1500 these were
Thank you.
Where can i buy these Winchester ones? I cannot find them online
I think Will bought his through Cabela’s
wish i could just test them all too lol
nice job money well spent i’d say
Sitka waders are the best waders out there

That’s unfortunate to hear you had a bad experience. We have been using high and dry hard for a few seasons now and still no leaks.
I bet you did not contact HnD for warranty and will further bet they are holes punched in the wader material - not a seam leak - EHH??
So freakin helpful.
What size should i get in the high n dry waders if i wear a size 28 waist in jeans and i wear a size 10 in boots please help
Just the regular and size 10 shoe
I am 31 waste and size 9.5 shoe and I wear the same size I just sent you and they are good
Thanks guys
Would it be too big

Ukraine are in desperate need of waders, does anyone know how to do crowd funding to supply these?
