I Had a pair of $400 waders and the seam were the waders attach to the boot came apart after only one season. So I started looking for a durable pair of waders that would last. I found high and dry through watching Joel’s video about them last year and after reading their company’s mission statement on why they started making waders. I bought a pair. Couldn’t be happier. They are holding up great and Very comfortable.
Same here man, they are all about making the best wader they can to keep their customers dry, oddly that makes them different than most wader companies, which says a lot about the industry
Got my waders today! So excited for trout opener April 6th! My problem was also sizing. High n' dry had a nice breathable that fit great! Even wore my jeans while I tried them on earlier. I couldn't find a comfortable pair for a chunky guy like me. My 400+ dollar neoprene Cabela's never ripped or leaked on me, but man, what a pain to get into. Basically had to strip to my boxers to get them to fit with a thin t-shirt. And it was one of the owners (I forgot which one) that took the time on the phone with me and took my actual measurements to find me the best size! I discovered them talking on the phone to a client who's lake I was stocking, he recommended them by saying "im 6'7" and 360lbs, and they had a size that fit me beautifully, so if they had a pair for me, you should be just fine". I was sold then before I even called lol. High n' Dry definitely won my loyalty.
@ChasingGreen I recommended them to a gentleman on Facebook who was having the same "Big guy" issues, and he found his set with them, too! Guy has a size 66 waste and they had a size for him lol. This company is "real world man" legit lmao. Thanks for replying! Great video, btw!
I just bought a pair of these. First time I put them on, to check the fit, I started walking and rhen ran back and forth in the room. They do feel really comfortable and athletic. I can't wait to get them out in the marsh and on the river!
The is for this video!!! I’ve shredded waders from walking out to spots like y’all. Also struggle dealing with waders that seem to be made for fat giants... when I’m on the smaller size. I’ll have to try these out. Thanks for honest review
Been waiting on this review. I will give them a try once I need to buy a new pair. I see guys doing a wader review after one or two hunts and they may be comfortable but you need a longer test for durability. That’s what is more important to me.
Right! That blows my mind. You have to use something for at least a season to see if its ant good. Hope this vid helps brother. They have been awesome waders for me
Great video Jake! I was very optimistic about Rogers Toughman Breathables and I already got a hole in the boot not even halfway through regular duck season and I was just walking marshes and not timber like you guys do lol. I think I will be giving these a try come next season!
Nice comprehensive review!, Yep thanks to Joel and Thomas (Hoke outdoors) I pulled the trigger on a pair this summer, been on 4 hunts so far (long walks too) and I’m enjoying every step.
I watch surviving duck season (where I found high n dry waders) first season with these waders and I absolutely love them. Was pretty skeptic about having no insulation, been layering up properly an actually been more comfortable than any pair other waders. If high n dry keeps there high standards I will never own a different pair. Very durable and Great product!
Years ago Cabelas had waders called brush busters . They were the toughest waders ever .Even barbed wire had a hard time puncturing them.But they weighed a ton and they were work just walk in them. I like the idea of they breathable wader and this is a good review. I think my next pair will be HnD waders. They sound great.
I dont think youll be disappointed my man. I hope to do a video in the future of neoprene vs breathable, pros and cons to both. Breathable way better for walking and comfort, neoprene is warmer and better for when standing in deeper water all morning
I have a pair of Bayou Metos from Mack's (the waist high) that I have had for over ten years and are still going. Don't know if they even make them anymore but they have certainly stood the test of time.
I've had my rogers breathable (frogg togg rebrand) that have lasted me 4 seasons. They just sprung a leak in the left inseam, looks like high and dry are my next go to.
I got my High ang Dry this year and I never gonna going back! Even living north east Canada the shipping was really fast!! The boots are crazy warm! Never got anything near thoses boots!
My brother and I have both been through two pairs of Rogers breathable waders in a season and a half, been trying to find some waders that could last us longer than a season.
Hey bud I just found your channel really good stuff. Got a quick question for you. I have a disability and we hunt the rivers a lot and I need a new set of waders but I don’t want them to be too heavy that my legs can’t carry them if that makes any sense. Are they light weight enough you think
Hey, thanks for reaching out! I think the only way to know is to try them. But i know if you call them and tell them your situation, they will send you a pair and let you try them, and if they dont work let you send em back. Just be sure and measure as they fit tight. Measure chest with duck clothes on
I would definitely call them and ask, along with taking your other measurements. Like i said, these things are tight fitting, which is really good but you dont wont to miss on sizing.
Is the pocket for your hands insulated? Also I’ve only used neoprene waders. What is the wader belt for? I’m thinking it’s to keep the water from filling up the waders if you go under.
The pocket is not insulated. They sell neoprene as well, i hope to do a video in the future of Breathable vs neoprene. Some people like the belt to just give a more snug, tight fit. I dont use it. Thanks for watching brother
@@ChasingGreen thank you for getting back to me. I’ve been wanting breathable waders for awhile now. Was going to go with the Rogers 2 in 1. But after this review I’ll have to think a little more.
Well let me know how it turns out man. Breathables are definitely the way to go if your walking alot and prefer comfort. Neoprene warmer and better when standing in deeper water for the morning
No i didnt, not really a popular thing in my neck of the woods. Had never seen any in person until blackbelt waterfowl. Hadnt heard much good or bad. I have heard that they are produced by frogg togg but im not 💯 on that
going on 4 season of Rogers breathable with zipper insulation not sure the name but almost positive they were made by Frog Tog. Love em and dread the day they fail. Best of luck with yours!
Hard to say, i think that would be kind of dependent on your build. I havnt had any problems and i hadnt heard of any. They are pretty atheletic tight fit in general. You could order and try and ship back if you dont like. The owners are super helpful and they will probably be able to answer your question a little better and also assit you on fit
They only sell directly on there website, helps lower cost. There getting another shipment later in spring. I will post when they have new stock available on the website. It goes fast! Better be ready of you want a pair.
Most comfortable boot I’ve put on. Only hunted like 8-10 hunts last year. Poor stitching and leaks in both legs. I do not recommend. Awkward fit too. Just my experience and opinion
Dang, sorry to hear that. Did you not warranty and get a different pair? Every product on the planet has a certain percentage of bad product. They are made by humans. Ive talked to a ton of people who have tried them and you are the first bad experience ive heard of
Customer service was great. They didn’t have more when I contacted them. Offered to send me a new pair in exchange or a new pair at half off after the season but didn’t want to risk it. Both sides tore the stitching on the front where the buckle meets on the first couple trips when I reached inside to my Jean pockets. I’ve since learned to unbuckle them first but never had to do that before… maybe it was my fault. Oh well live and learn. Also just got a surviving duck season hoodie and there is a hole in the fabric right next to the thumb hole new out of the package. They are an American company but their stuff is made in China. I guess everything is made there now…

My High and Dry waders are great - first waders I’ve had that really fit !! I have to thank you and Joel for putting me on them ! God bless ❤️‼️
The fit on them is incredible!

Sorry to hear that brother! Hard to find good waders. I dont think youll be disappointed with these though
I got to use high n dry’s all last season and I absolutely love them. Most comfortable and durable wader for a great price!!
💯 spot on
Nice comprehensive review!, Yep thanks to Joel and Thomas (Hoke outdoors) I pulled the trigger on a pair this summer, been on 4 hunts so far (long walks too) and I’m enjoying every step.
Nice man, glad to hear it! Appreciate you taking the time to watch.👊🏻

Nice breakdown Jake! Agreed with all your points

I had one for the last 3 years. Moderate use but very satisfied with the products.
Glad to hear 👊🏻

Thanks buddy, they have been absolutely fantastic for me
This will be my second year with tidewe wader so far so good . Had a pair of redhead that barely made a full season .
Great info!!! They sound like the real deal!!!!
Theyve made me a believer for sure man
Great Video Brother!👊🏻
Thanks man, appreciate you tuning in
I have a pair of Bayou Metos from Mack's (the waist high) that I have had for over ten years and are still going. Don't know if they even make them anymore but they have certainly stood the test of time.
Heck yeah man, thats getting your moneys worth. 10 years is a long time for waders
@@ChasingGreen I don't walk like y'all do so maybe not a fair comparison. But ten plus years on any waders, the miles will pile up lol.
No doubt!
I've had my rogers breathable (frogg togg rebrand) that have lasted me 4 seasons. They just sprung a leak in the left inseam, looks like high and dry are my next go to.
I think youll be mighty happy with the choice. 4 seasons is pretty solid if you hunt a lot so congrats on that. You got pretty blessed with those
Same thing here!
Will definitely try them out need a pair this season
Let me know how the experience goes for you, i know they have been exactly what we were looking for
@@ChasingGreen will do looked on there website im gonna see how how there neoprene jacket works to
Yeah, i got me one for this season. Pumped to try out and see how it does
I got a pair of ducks unlimited waders and there really good 👍 they came with a shell holder bag! 😁
Thanks for the info... I've heard Joel talk about these also.... gotta find me a pair of those... God Bless...
Yeah, they are the real deal brother. I stayed dry and thats a huge deal with whats out there nowadays
@@ChasingGreen I just ordered a pair....
Let me know how it works out for you!
@@ChasingGreen certainly will.... I haven't recvd a confirmation of the sale but may take a few minutes... !!!
I got my High ang Dry this year and I never gonna going back! Even living north east Canada the shipping was really fast!! The boots are crazy warm! Never got anything near thoses boots!
Awesome! Glad to hear it. Theyve been a game changer for me. Thanks for tuning in 👊🏻
Been waiting on this review. It's hard to find good waders for a big guy like myself hopefully these will work
They are great waders, tight in some places. You will definitely want to measure with your duck stuff on. Thanks for tuning in buddy
@@ChasingGreen thank you for the video's. Can't wait to see what you have planned this year
Appreciate it my man
@@ChasingGreen have a great night
Same thing happen to me on my wader boot, cut q hole is boot from underwater limp/stump. And it HAD to happen on the Coldest day lol
Yeah, it was cold as all get out on the day i cut mine. That 5200 is no joke though. Its the best wader repair ive ever used
I’m getting some
My brother and I have both been through two pairs of Rogers breathable waders in a season and a half, been trying to find some waders that could last us longer than a season.
I dont think youll be dissatisfied with high n dry. Theyve served me well

No problem, let me know how it works it if you decide to give em a try
If i wear a size 10 boot and 28 waist in jeans what size would fit me the best in the high n dry waders pls help.
Best bet is to go to their website and check their sizing chart or call customer service
Nice bible verse God bless you for it
Thanks!
I bought a pair of banded wore them this morning within 5 minutes I had water trickling down my left leg I’m switching to high ‘n dry
Sorry to hear that! You wont be disappointed with hnd. Let me know how it goes
Cabelas classic brown neoprene 160 bucks warm and tough as nails.
I wear a 10 1/2 boot . What size u recommend? 10 or 11. Hate keep buying waders and foot keeps pulling out in the mud
I would definitely call them and ask, along with taking your other measurements. Like i said, these things are tight fitting, which is really good but you dont wont to miss on sizing.
I'm sold
You wont be disappointed

@@nsmerilli1 what did you get?
@@samuelcarter8238 I haven’t gotten any yet. But once the breathable high n dry are available in September I’ll be getting those.
I got Rogers on sale last year. Going to give them a try. Did you try Rogers?
No i didnt, not really a popular thing in my neck of the woods. Had never seen any in person until blackbelt waterfowl. Hadnt heard much good or bad. I have heard that they are produced by frogg togg but im not 💯 on that
going on 4 season of Rogers breathable with zipper insulation not sure the name but almost positive they were made by Frog Tog. Love em and dread the day they fail. Best of luck with yours!
Please do a video on layering properly! I’m lost on how to do so! 😂
Hoping to do that soon actually!
How well do the boots hold on your feet in deeper mud? That’s my number one complaint with all the boot foot waders I’ve ever worn.
Hard to say, i think that would be kind of dependent on your build. I havnt had any problems and i hadnt heard of any. They are pretty atheletic tight fit in general. You could order and try and ship back if you dont like. The owners are super helpful and they will probably be able to answer your question a little better and also assit you on fit
@@ChasingGreen I appreciate the info, if they fit like a lacrosse Grange rubber boot they’d be a keeper from what it sounds like.
Yeah, wish i could be of more help, havnt tried that lacrosse boot so cant compare.
@@ChasingGreen no worries brother, I will get with them. Keep the great videos coming, you’ve been a world of help with the information you put out.
Thanks! Glad to hear that. If you end up getting some, keep me posted on how it goes with them
Just bought a pair. My Banded only lasted 2 seasons.
I think youll be highly satisfied buddy. Keep me updated on how the journey goes with them 👊🏻
have y’all used gator waders? if so what was ur thought
Have not, hadnt really known anybody that used em either unfortunately.
Had a pair of megellan neoprene waders they lasted 5 years until the boots finally self destructed couldn’t believe it
I learned that if you store them in a plastic bag they will last longer. Ozone, sunlight and hydrocarbons in air breaks down the rubber.
What size you using?
I wear 10 regulars. There pretty tight fitting so i would definitely measure with typical duck clothes on
SOLD!!
We’re do you buy these waders!!!
They only sell directly on there website, helps lower cost. There getting another shipment later in spring. I will post when they have new stock available on the website. It goes fast! Better be ready of you want a pair.
Exactly you don't need INSULATED breathables!! Just layer under.
There's no audio.......................
Thats a youtube problem. Just close the video and reclick
