 Banded waders So got a set off banded waders before the season started. Noticed a week ago the inside liner came apart at a seem. Said shit hunt then till end of season. Today only two hours in water, hip deep, noticed i was feeling colder than usual. Got home, my wader paints are wet, socks aswell. Put hand into waders both boots and legs are soaked. WTF for 300 bucks you think they would last. And they have been babied compared to other sets i have owned.

Re: Banded waders I have their red zone breathable insulated waders and they are the best waders I have ever had. Super comfortable and dont bind you up like neos do. I am very hard on all my hunting equipment when it comes to waterfowl hunting esp my clothing and waders. I had a pair of the original ones they made and some stitching on the outside of the wader was coming lose. They were not leaking and this did not affect the waders in the water whatsoever. I called Banded and spoke with Chris Boettcher. Very good dude and went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. I finished out the season with the old ones and they sent me out a new pair when season was over. No issues with my new ones. I also have their blind bag and some of their insulated gloves. I used to be a devoted Drake (still wear some drake stuff) guy but started trying some of the Banded gear and I have been nothing but impressed with it. Sucks to hear you have had a bad experience with your waders. Give them a call and see if they will send you out a new pair. Good luck!

Re: Banded waders Yeah, they are by far the most comfortable waders I've ever put on. I just sent back to mpw, and borrowing my buddies while he's on the tug. I can say the fleece pocket is too low, and once wet hard to dry out.

Re: Banded waders They were very warm even when it got in the teens, and as stated they are not near as bulky. Although having a low pocket that stays wet, and no drings. I'm going with another set of drakes or mpws

Re: Banded waders I do agree with the pocket being to low and no d ring. I will sacrafice that for the warmth and comfort.
