 Waders
I know we have had a couple wader threads in the past, but I was wanting to know if anyone had any input on the Macks PW Big Ditch waders? I am considering them because Mack's waders are about the only ones you can get in natgear or bottomland.

 Re: Waders
After one season they all look like Nat Gear anyway.

 Re: Waders
Me and the wife picked up some NG Big Ditch waders from Macs last year. So I only have one season on them but they held up just fine in the buck brush so far. Course I don't know that I will find anything that will last as long as the Cabelas Ultimates did with 8 hard years on them until the top of the boots dried and cracked.

 Re: Waders
I didn't look at the GP. The Ultimates were tough but very comfortable. They could be hot for a healthy LA hunter though if you had to move around alot. But on those cold sitting still days they were great.

 Re: Waders
I got a pair last year. I got them because of the 3.5mm vs. the 5mm that I had been wearing.
Love 'em.
Only issue, and it is minor, is that the buckles on the shoulder are a bit awkward on me. I'm short, so it may not be any issue for you at all.
