Totally agree! I ended up having to return mine because they were too tight in the shoulders. Frustrating!
Mobility is key for me while fishing. I was pleasantly surprised by how flexible the Frogg Toggs Waders are. I could easily kneel and move around without restriction.
Yes! I felt like I could do lunges in mine! The fit really does make a difference.
For those who are unsure, I recommend trying them on with the layers you’d typically wear. That helped me find the right size.
Excellent tip! I wish I would have done that. I felt claustrophobic on my first outing until I adjusted the straps right.
Has anyone noticed any durability concerns with their waders? I’ve had mine for just a few months and they’re starting to fray.
Oh no! I haven’t had that issue, but I do recommend being cautious around sharp objects.
I love how lightweight they are! Makes hiking to my fishing spot so much easier. I jest and call them my ‘magic pants’!
Haha, that’s a good one! They really do feel like a second skin when you’re out in the field!
I’ve had my Frogg Toggs waders for over a year, and they’ve held up well in cold water. I spent hours fishing in icy streams last winter, and my legs stayed warm and dry the whole time. Highly recommend them for chilly conditions!
That’s great to hear! I’ve been concerned about how well they handle muddy terrains. Any thoughts on that?

I’ve fished in the muck with my Frogg Toggs, and while they perform decently, be cautious—they can slip if the mud is too thick. Not a problem if you’re careful, though!
Good tip! How do these waders fare on long hikes? My fishing spots often require some serious trekking.
I took my waders on a 5-mile hike to a secluded lake, and they were surprisingly comfortable! The breathability kept me from overheating, but they felt a bit heavy after a long while.
Breathability is key! I felt the same on a hike. Would you say they are worth the price considering their performance overall?
For the price? Absolutely! I’ve used them for fishing, hiking, and even a bit of hunting. They’ve held up quite well for all activities.
One thing I’ve noticed is that they can get a bit snug in the knees when crouching for long periods. But that’s a minor downside considering how effective they are in water.
Snug knees, huh? Maybe I’ll just do some squats before hitting the stream! 
Seriously though, are they prone to leaks after extended use?
I haven’t experienced leaks, but I do check my seams regularly. Some friends have reported issues, though. Regular maintenance seems to help avoid that.
That makes sense! Any thoughts on how these waders perform in warmer weather?
