[cool][#0000ff]Sorry. Completely unfamiliar with these waders.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]That is a good price...if they give you at least a year of good service without a lot of leaks. Every once in a while a new product will come on the market and the initial pricing will be good to attract new buyers. But, it is always a gamble...low price against potential poor quality. As a general rule in waders, you really do GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]The Hodgman Wadelites are a good example. They have historically been the low price line, but they also are notorious for leaking. Some leak right out of the box. Most of them develop leaks within a few uses. And, it is not just the seams but at many spots on the main material of the waders. Their waterproofing wears through and you get "seepage" at numerous points in the legs.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I hope you made a good buy. Let us know how you like them a few months from now. And go fishing a lot to put them to a good test.[/#0000ff]
