I do a lot of saltwater wade fishing walk up to 4to5 miles at a time across and around reefs so far they seem to hold up

Looked like an awesome product and the people from the fishing group that I am in, say they are comfortable and durable. They were just the wrong size.

I am a bigger buy, 6’1” 275lbs always have trouble getting clothes especially online. It usually takes me a few tries. These fit perfectly at an XL. And the quality of the material is insanely nice. I am shocked honestly, these could easily be in the same category as the $100-200 range waders. They earned a customer for sure

I wore these over my clothes to protect from the wind and water on a fishing trip and I'm glad I did. There was plenty of spray off the boat. These also kept me warm in temps ~40 degrees F.

Neoprene socks are too small for a US9 foot size

I just received my Size Large waders today and would like to offer an initial review while they’re on my mind. I’ll try to do a follow-up once I’ve put them to good use. For reference, I am 5′ 7″ tall, 188 pounds and wear a size 10.5 shoe.
– The stocking foot is snug, as noted by others, but I believe snug is better than the alternative. I tried on my waders wearing blue jeans and thin socks, but even without socks I believe they’ll be a little snug. Once my wading boot is laced up and I’m in the stream fishing, I think I’ll forget all about the snugness of the neoprene.
– The inseam is longer than necessary (my pant inseam is 30″), but that should not prove to be a problem unless the material folds over underwater and creates a pressure point. That sometimes happens with waders, but I don’t expect it to be a problem. The excess length will allow me to bend over and squat if necessary.
– The shoulder strap and the belt are both elastic. I think that’s a bad idea. They are more difficult to adjust than a regular web material, so once you get them perfect just leave them along. I have other waders with web shoulder straps, and I am constantly adjusting the straps depending on what I’m doing. I suspect that this type of thick elastic will take a while to dry.
– Speaking of belts, the three belt loops are totally unnecessary. Unlike with regular pants, when you put your wading belt on it isn’t going anywhere. Loops are absolutely useless. I’d go so far to say that the rear loop can be a nuisance, as a lot of people like to stick landing nets into their belts behind them. Suggestion: PisciFun, just eliminate this manufacturing cost and then pass the savings on to the customer.
– The handy Velcro fly patch is mounted too low on the front of the waders. Up high, it would be more useful, but I prefer no patch at all. Most people don’t use them anyway. If you do attach flies to this patch, you’ll likely find that the water current and/or your vest and/or your shoulder bag will knock off the flies. Suggestion: PisciFun, if you’re not going to do it right, just eliminate this “feature” and pass the cost savings on to the customer.
– The wader “kit” comes with a nice mesh carrying and/or storage bag, but it also comes with a “bonus” clear waterproof smartphone bag. Let me ask you a question. Are your seriously researching your next set of stockingfoot waders based on whether or not they’ll come with a phone case? I didn’t think so. Neither did I. You’re paying for waders, so don’t get sidetracked. Suggestion: PisciFun, get with the program. Don’t include unrelated crap in order to “sweeten the deal.” Just stick to making good products that stand on their own. Surely by eliminating this cost you can lower the price of the waders.
– The overall fit of the waders suits me fine. I’m about a 41″ chest, and I feel that the waders are somewhat snug on my body, both in the legs and the torso. To me, that’s not a problem. These are not pajamas! I’m not sure if I’ll wear long pants underneath them; it’ll likely depend on the time of year I’m fishing. But, even with long pants, I think they’ll come on and off fine with a little patience. Once they’re on, you’ll be glad they are not huge on you.
So, I’ve made some criticisms, but I believe the overall value for my money is quite good. These waders seem to be well built, and I am anxious to get out on the water to put them to work!
Great Waders
Piscifun reels and rods are great stuff, started buying it 1-1/2 years ago. The waders are great also, use stripper fishing in the N.E.
Love all their products! Not at a premium prices like name brands I’m 5’10 230lb and the XL fit good
very happy with the chest waders
disclaimer – Only used on weekend 1 canoe trip so far.
Pros:
at 6’5″ / 240lbs the XX-Large was a good fit for me.
I found the overall quality good and performance was good as well.
kept me dry all weekend on cold spring canoe trip and I was in up to my waist a few times fishing.
Cons:
The inseam length would be better at 38″ for me but again it wasn’t too bad getting in and out of the canoe.
I got these to do some cleanup work around an 8 slip dock that caught debris from a beaver dam break. They kept me dry, held up to submerged branches and clearing the debris.

They run pretty big. I probably could've gotten mediums but these fit OK. Theyve held up to multiple fishing trips so far.

Great waders for the money
Bought these in a pinch cause my Simms failed(again), wore them for 10 days in Cordova Alaska. They performed well for 100.00 waders, no leaks, easy on and off, fit good and very comfortable. Warm dry feet
when standing in water for hours.
I an very happy with the quality of these waders and the extra built in storage pockets are handy.

I just invested in a great pair of waders without having to dish out extra useless cash for a name brand. My new Piscifun waders met all my expectation for summer stream fly fishing. Durable and lightweight with comfortable and a great fit. Plenty of Room to layer up on cold mornings without being baggy. I am 'hooked' on this product! Tom

chest waders
Excellent pair of waders I would recommend these to anyone
I am 6’ 240 and these fit nicely, I don’t like baggy waders and these worked perfectly. Warm enough for cold weather if you dress appropriately underneath. Overall I really like

I wanted to get a set of waders a little better than the clunky, bulky, bargain basement booted set I’d been using for a couple years… but didn’t want to pay several hundred dollars… so after reading reviews I decided to try these.
I received them quickly and used them for the first time today.
I’m very satisfied with them.
They are comfortable, fold/roll up pretty small, have lots of pockets, lots of adjustment on the shoulder straps and belt. I also like that the belt and straps are elastic, it helps a lot with the comfort.
No leaks.
I didn’t give it 5 stars as I do find the fit a little odd… I had to get an XL to allow for the foot size (I werar a size 13/14 shoe), and I find the legs are overly “poofy”. In the water I really didn’t notice it though, as the water pressure compresses the pant legs in against my legs.. but putting them on dry I definitely notice extra ‘bulk’ in the legs.
And the chest comes up several inches higher than I wish it did.
But that’s a little nit-picky… as they felt great in the water.. and the booties fit my feet perfectly.
I bought a pair of size 15 neoprene dive socks to put over the booties, and then into my fins and it all worked well.
It is good waders no leaks so far the durability is great I'm 5.8 tall and 200lb US8.5 i ordered M and fits perfect it will last for a years if you take care of it.

A very durable pair of waders where the seems are tough. I can see a lot of years of use out of these. The stitching on the feet section is well done and will be able to take the abuse of putting on and taking off your wader boots for years. It comes in a nice travel bag that you are easily able to store them in. Also I like that it has a built in place to hook lures on so your favorite flies are easily accessible.

I'm really loving these so far been about 3 months of alot of use in saltwater fishing around Tampa Bay i wade fish with these atleast 3-4 days every single week and they have been great 👍 only things I can think of that I dislike are the pockets NOT being waterproof but hey REAL WATERPROOF is not cheap and these were a great deal for a little over a 100$ I love them

Great product only flaw I have is I’m 6’4” and when I go to step over a log the waders restrict how high I can step. Other than that I’ve worn them twice and so light weight barely notice I have them o

No leaks so far, after 3 trips.
So far so good. They did great. Time will tell. I wade fish a lot. Climb in and out of my boat. Wade around a lot of mud and shell. We’ll see.
These replaced a pair of Simms waders that the foot stockings started leaking after 2 years. Wasn’t impressed. I resealed them, then they started leaking around the knees. Paid to much for what I got.
2 years seems to be the most I can get.
Like others have said the fit of these is a little awkward. The feet run small and the leg length runs long. I bought these for my 6’1 husband, he wears a size 11 shoes so I bought an XL. The feet are almost too small but the legs are super baggy! The chest and waist fit perfect though! Overall for the price, these are pretty good.

First waders for trout fishing, have used them 6 to 7 times in the last few weeks and I am really happy with the quality over a few other brands that other family members have purchased off Amazon. I purchased these because I had already ordered this brand fly reel and was very impressed with it. Took a chance and have been extremely happy with Piscifun products. Stocking foot could use a little refinement,extra thick neoprene and shaped odd for foot size but overall great quality and no leaks!
I have only been out once in these waders so keep that in mind. I fish the rivers of the North cascades in Washington state almost every weekend where there is a lot of hiking involved to get to the honey holes. These waders are what you would expect from a higher end pair. They breath. You can maneuver in them with ease. Plenty of storage space. And they seem to be well built. They come with a 1 year warranty which is great for the type of use I plan on getting out of them. I will update this review in time. These waders will definitely be pushed to the max so we will see.
Bought these in July 2019. I use them a lot, and they are solid. Excellent product would definately recommend. I’ve heard of some high end waders failing after only a few trips. Aside from falling in a couple times, when I take these off, I am bone dry!
I’m 5’9″ 145 shoe size 9.5 and the small fits perfect, the booties are just right so I can fit boots on. Don’t go by the size chart. Look on the reviews and see what they say before you pick your Size. If I went by the size chart I would have purchased a medium and they would have been too big. These have just enough room to put layers on and not be too baggy. I have not tested in water yet. If they leak I’ll be sure to update review. Good luck
For the money the quality is great. Stitching is very good and the material used is not bad. However, the sizing is huge, like most of the budget waders. I am usually a medium in waders and with waders that gives me room; however, the foot sizing made me get a Large and they are huge from the shins up. Very baggy and long. I am 6’2″ and these ride too far up I have the straps maxed out and the chest is up to my shirt neck line. They are extremely bagging and clunky throughout. I was hoping to have better fit and chose these over other Chinese made waders because at least I only had to get a large instead of a XXL or XXXL due to foot size. But in the end the feet still fit tight and the rest of the waders are almost too massive. Definitely wouldn’t want to walk in to any remote site in these. Why can’t waders be fit for the standard builds? You have to buy into Simms waders to get enough variable to have waders that fit.
Good fit. Not so sure about how “breathable” the waders are. I’ve used them in 85 degree weather and they seem to get a little warm inside. My old waders (Hodgman) seemed more comfortable. Overall good price and product.
I am truly in awe over the quality of these waders. Having owned top name waders from Orvis, LL Bean, and others, paying up to $300 for a pair, I can honestly proclaim the Piscifun waders hold all and more of the same features, with the same and better quality, at a fraction of the price. The fit is absolutely incredible as well. I LOVE them and would recommend them to anyone from the novice to the expert!
I purchased these waders to replace my current waders, which are made by White River. They served me well but after a few trips to the ocean, they took on a smell I could not get rid of. Anyway, I own a bunch of Piscifun reels, a few of the Piscifun rods, and some of their fishing accessories so I thought I would give their waders a try as well.The waders shipped quickly and arrived well-packed. They came in a nice mesh storage bag and included a basic repair patch in case you get a puncture or small rip in the waders while you are wearing them. I ordered size small since I am 5’6″ and weigh 140lbs; I wore small in the White River waders as well. The Piscifun waders fit a little “higher” than my old waders but overall fit is great. The feet are not too loose/tight, the waist-area of the waders is not restrictive, and the shoulder straps are adjustable enough for me to be comfortable in the waders.
I prefer a breathable type of wader as I find full neoprene waders too be too hot and restrictive. I like that the neoprene feet have the gravel guards with elastic cuffs as well as loops for securing the gravel guards to your wading boots. The belt is great! It is elastic which I really like because I can get it tight enough to be comfortable while still serving its purpose of keeping the waders from filling with water in the even of an accidental immersion. The removable (held on with velcro) fly pad is awesome! It makes it very easy to keep your favorite flies readily available and can be removed if not needed and/or for washing/cleaning the waders.
I have had them out once so far while fishing a river here in California. Poor weather has kept me from getting to use them again since then but I am excited to use them again. Should you buy them, I do not think you will be disappointed.
I fish rivers and tributaries alot and have owned my fair shar of waders. These waders are surprisingly very comparable to some much more expensive brands. Love the front pocket and overall style. Durable material wasn’t too heavy or too thin. Kept me warm with minimal base layers under them. Great product for an even better price! Would definitely buy them again.
