Anyone have Hodgman breathable waders?

[capt coonassty]

Looking to replace some waders I forgot in Venice and are looking into the Hodgman Big Cypress. The other day I felt the material and seems durable. I'm willing to try something else than neoprene because of the warm weather.

I bought some to replace my Lacrosse Breathables but when I tried em on I didn't like the fit at all. Very tight in the nether regions.

I was thinking about getting these for hunting and wade fishing!
What y'all think?

The boots are made of a different material other than traditional rubber stuff. Seem to be much lighter. Only saw them at academy, didn't get to try them on. I guess Ill go tomorrow and try them out.

Was that the ones u were looking for?

Looking at the Big Cypress, I think they are the same thing except the Quivera are insulated and the cypress are not.

The Hodgeman lightweight waders (the ones that have that lightweight boot that's not rubber) are junk they all leak at the boot seam .


On my second pair of Banded waders already this duck season . Bought the first pair the week of duck season opener ,and was in the second pair before the second split . They did honor their warranty and send me a replacement pair ,so that was a good thing .

I believe Kenner 18 proved my point. I have two buddies that hunt with me that each bought a pair and did not last over a month

Gotta buy quality products that have been around, Lacrosse has been holding a great reputation for many years...I've got Lacrosse insulated waders for hunting and they have seen some rough days no leaks yet and sometimes too warm. Gonna look into fishing waders so I'll be looking into lacross first.

maybe a bad run on em , ive made 10+ hunts no issues ...hopefully it stays that way , they are by far the most comfortable wader ive owned
