I'm looking into getting a new pair of hip waders for this upcoming season, and want to know if any of you guys on here have had luck with these specific waders.

I have a pair I have used 2 seasons so far trapping and coon hunting. still holding up. No leaks

just bought a set, but haven't used them yet.

appear to be well made.

I paid the extra for a custom fit. my only complaint (and maybe it's my fault for not being clear)...they're a little tight in the thigh. the instructions said to measure actual size, and I did so. seems I got that measurement, with little to no "lee way"...I thought that would have been accounted for when they asked for actual measurement.

no returns on custom-built.

they'll still work.

I have worn the soles out of the LaCross bottoms. Before the tops wore out.I also have inslated and Non-inslated

I like the LaCross botoms better than Muck bottoms.

junk, last pair I got took out of box, worked in them all day, came home with two wet legs, took them off, put back in box and tossed in trash! Went back to reg. rubber hip boots and burn up all summer now. No idea why no one can make those type hip boots as good as Wicks did.

I'll stand by what I said.

Two years on mine also, hard use land and water. Great product. Fit is important, drove the miles to make sure on size. glad I did, would have messed up. Mine are with the Dan's boot and brush buster chaps. Boots run bit narrow, however they are tough. Might rethink that part. I also use J C Connors belt clip on all my chaps so they need to be a bit shorter. Unfortunately sometimes you can get a bad apple in with a bag of good ones. If issue am sure they would make it right.

My boy liked his better than any other style he's tried. Out grew them, but he'll have another pair soon.

I've got 4 years into the pair of Dans I have. Muck boot bottom. No issues.

I love mine always wear out the boots before the tops leak.

The chaps position is mainly what’s attracting me along with a good snug boot fit. I’m just tired of my feet flopping around or having no support in hip waders or them blowing out due to the tough brush I’m beating through especially during ADC work

I've owned them

They are not a wader as far as I'm concerned! They are a more of a water resistant hunting chap.


Don't buy them if you plan on being in the water for long periods of time.

Go lacrosse if your going to be in water long periods of time!

JTrapper call Stone Creek Hunting Supply they use the Wick material on lacross boots, chaps, bibs, etc. Believe they even bought some of wicks sewing machines. There in Pa.

I know guys who spend about all day in the water with them and they love them.

I wear mine with the muck boot 12 months a year. They still don't leak. What I like about them is that they don't pinch your skin at the back of your knees, and its easy to forget that you have hip boots on due to comfort and light weight. I have 4 years on my current pair.

Ok

I'm happy for them

Thanks, someone said yoder made boots for wicks and all that as well, first pair I got were just like wicks
then second pair was like dans, just junk. Id tried dans 3 times, just got tired of wet legs.

I have had a pair for right at 4 years they have the muck bottoms absolutely waterproof I can’t believe they don’t leak got a couple of places the seems are about wore through. Don’t really care for the muck bottoms going to try something different on my next pair. I used to love my Lacross trapline waders (I still switch back and forth ) but the weight difference between the two is no comparison Dans are a lot lighter and more comfortable to wear all day long.

I had a pair of wicks and wore out 4 pair of boots before switching too a pair of Dunlop Purofoot boots, which is a pr of commercial fishing boots. Feet never got cold very comfortable, steel toes, great lugs on the soles. wicks replaced the tops 3 times on those boots before I told them no more warranty stuff because the tops were not going to outlast the boots.. still using the second pair of the froglegs with the boots after 14 years. boot are pricy at $175.00 back then.

I prefer the yoder chap always had them on a muck boot though
