BASSDASHBreathable Ultra Lightweight Veil Camo Chest Stocking Foot Fishing Hunting Waders for Men

Fitment
I have not used these in the water yet, but I am writing this review to help others who may be trying to decide on size. I am 5'11" and #240, size 11 boot. I ordered the LK (stocking foot) and the size is just right. Not too baggy, but still some room for clothes underneath. So far other aspects seem as advertised. Lightweight, breathable and comfortable, seem well made with well thought out features. I like the little tabs that hold the gravel guards onto the boot laces.

Best Pair I have Ever Owned !
I consider myself a Big & Tall man , Im 6' 1" roughly 350lbs , its hard to find waders for us bigger men that fit good and the boot size matches up good also. sizes like these are hard to find in box stores . and we usually have to spend a fortune on a good fitting product . these have been one of the best finds Ive purchased … I done a Youtu*be full review on my channel Fishing_With_Big-D look for the Black and White symbol of a fishing lure … I've had these for 3 plus trout seasons now and they are still holding up great .I fish almost every week , sometimes twice a week during trout season , I have put these to the test and they are awesome. and the price wasn't bad at all compared to Red Heads or Toggs , definitely a great value. fit great and I got the neoprene socks so that I could use felt bottom boots with mine. best decision ever .

So far, so good....
First set of stocking foot waders having historically used boot foot waders. Pro's and con's to both, but given the uses and environments (duck hunting, trout stream fishing, saltwater wade fishing) I felt the stocking foot had greater utility and flexibility. I purchased these waders a while ago but haven't used them at all till this week.Spent two days wade fishing for redfish and speckled trout on the coast and the waders performed well. I used soft science terrafin boots (really like those boots - great in all environments including sand, mud, oyster bars).Pro's:Light - the weather was in the upper 80's and I didn't overheat even wearing the waders all day.Breathable - didn't really sweat even in the heat. Major improvement over my boot foot waders.Waterpoof - Obviously you'd expect them to be, but only one way to know for sureCamo - Not sure the camo makes any difference for fishing, but I like the digital pattern for duck hunting.Roomy - The sizing was good. On cold days, I could definitely layer underneath without feeling jammedCuffs - I like the cuff design. Neat little hook retainer on the bottom of the cuff to hook to your boots to help keep the sand out (at least surf fishing). I got very little debris into my boots despite spending almost two full days wading through sand other bay bottom sediment.Seams - the seams appear to be well done but time will tellZippers - worked well. No problems with them jamming, even when I had to do it one handed with a rod in the other.Sitting comfort - The waders were not uncomfortable to sit down in and the way they are sewn makes the knee room solid. Not sure I would personally call them articulated (like some of the biking clothing that I have or ski clothing), but it seemed to work and I wasn't restricted when sitting. This is important for duck hunting in-particular.Chest pocket - Was great for holding boxed lures.Hand warmer pocket - like the concept. Didn't really use on this trip. The liner seems like a good idea, especially in colder weather, but not sure over time whether it will absorb odors (fish, duck, swamp mud, etc...). You can always wash them I suppose.Plastic loop on suspenders - like these for attaching various things to. Clipped my popping cork to them for easy reach for example. I'll put a carabiner on each loop in the future. Jury is out on how well the plastic will hold up over time. If it doesn't, I'll look at some sort of stainless steel ring.Neutral:Belt - Really had to cinch this thing down to make it useful and the belt kept coming out of the loops. Not a huge deal and really more of a nuisance. This was probably due more to how I had it cinched than anything. I didn't attach anything to the belt (bait bucket, net, fish stringer) so not sure how it would have done. I'll probably attach some things to it next time I am salt water wade fishing. When I duck hunt, I'll have a secondary shell and game belt strapped over the waders.Storage bag - I like how the waders can be folded into a small package. I can compress them enough to get in a backpack or my fishing tackle bag.Con's -Stocking feet - wasn't a huge fan of the stocking feet. I'm not sure if I got the wrong size, but I used the sizing chart and felt like the waders fit me elsewhere. I do have relatively small feet for my size and weight (although my feet are 4E. The biggest issue was really around how the stocking feet fit into the boots. I went up multiple sizes with the boots (to accommodate the stocking feet obviously), but they were just not as comfortable in the water as they were when i was walking around the house in them. I'll keep experimenting with different inner socks (not trying the barefoot route yet) to see what works. This isn't a deal killer and wouldn't stop me from purchasing these waders again.Overall really pretty happy with the first time use and purchase. Time will tell how well they hold up, so I'll try to update this review as I use them in different situations and environments. I did rinse them after immersion in saltwater although I have no reason to believe that the materials being used will be impacted by salt residue.Update - was at the coast this past weekend (April 2020) for two days of wade fishing again. Waders were great. No leaks and was in water almost to the upper chest opening on the waders. Water was 74 degrees F and was more than comfortable, all day, both days. Will continue to post updatesMay 2020 - Trout fishing @ 7500ft elevation. Water temperature unknown. Air temp - 34F. Waders were great. No issues with leaks. Water was definitely cold but I wore some travel pants underneath and was fine. My feet did get a little cold but I wasn’t wearing wool/insulated socks. Happy with the purchase so far.

Great waders. I ordered one size under and fits perfect.
I wear men's shoe size 11 (5'10" and 180 lbs) and I ordered 10 because I wear typically medium size and didn't want the wader to be way too big. The stocking fit me well with thick socks even though it's one size smaller than my feet size. They fit perfectly so I don't have to worry about shoving extra inches of the neoprene stocking into my wader boots every time I put on my size 11 boots. I can just slip my feet into the boots just like how I wear my normal shoes. It's awesome. The top portion of the wader is still bigger than my body. When I tighten the belt, it does fold a bit but it's really not that bad compared to other waders I tried for my size. I understand companies manufacture one size for each shoe size with extra space so big boys can fit in too. With this one though, I don't look like I'm wearing a sumo wrestler costume, which is nice. I like the hand warmer pockets where it's open so I can touch my own hands. The material is very light and it doesn't bother me one bit when I have to hike a couple of miles to my fishing destination. One little criticism for an improvement would be that I wish the belt loops kept the belt stay on better when I unbuckle it. There aren't that many loops and the belt fits much smaller than the size of the loop so they easily fall out. If it stays on better, it will be easier to handle these waders. Overall, this is a very nice quality breathable camo waders for the price. I'm happy with the purchase.

Fantastic
These are sooo much nicer than my Frog Toggs. Like the shoulder straps with the clip type easy on easy off, same with the belt. Like the sock boot, which is actually a boot in the wader makes it nice getting them on an off. Front pocket has plenty of room, inside pocket is nice and the pocket for your hands is really nice as well. Very light did get a little warm when it hit 87°. Like the camo pattern over my Grey frog toggs doesn't stand out had fish swim past me like I wasn't there. There not neoprene so fall fishing will need to layer up. There comfortable I like 'um.

Excellent soft foot waders!
These are very good waders. Keeps you dry, has zippered pockets for keys and wallet, buckles where you can hang items like pliers, and the camo pattern is classic and good looking. I love these waders. Plenty of room for bulkier clothes and socks for cooler Temps in the river water. Highly recommend! I have a lot of Bashdash shirts, hats, and these waders. Bassdash is an excellent brand.

Highly recommended!
These waders are 5 star. Durable, comfortable, keep you warm and dry. I’ve used these in rivers and lakes and they’ve held up well. The fit is great, and I love the colour for hunting and fishing. Love the pockets for storage too!

Macht einen sehr vernünftigen Eindruck
Wathose macht einen sehr vernünftigen Eindruck konnte Sie aber noch nicht in Aktion testen! Leider wurde mir als erstes ein aus Versehen einen falsche Größe zugeschickt was aber auf schnellstmögliche Weise wieder korrigiert wurde! Man kann diesen Verkäufer nur loben! Ein sehr netter Kontakt und man hatte ein sicheres Gefühl das alles erledigt wird! Vielen Dank dafür!So nun kann ich auch die Hose nach der Praxis bewerten! Die Hose ist toll verarbeitet und hat mittlerweile der größere Touren im Forellenfluss hinter sich! Super bequem und eine tolle Passform mit genügend Bewegungsfreiheit! Von knöcheltiefen bis brusttiefen Wasser schon alles ausprobiert! Auch das Material ist sehr robust! Diese Wathose brauch sich absolut nicht vor Premiumherstellern zu verstecken! Bin mittlerweile großer Fan der Marke Bassdash geworden! Auch die UV Shirts sind wirklich Klasse! Gerade in meiner Gewichtsklasse ist es ja immer schwer was zu finden in der richtigen Größe! Also für Männer die etwas mehr auf den Rippen haben, schaut Euch bei Bassdash mal um!!!!
