[cool][#0000ff]Good review. Sounds like you got a good deal. Of course the real test will be how they hold up over a couple of seasons of heavy use.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]It is good that they fit a bit loose. That allows for adding a couple of layers as the water gets cooler but before you want to go full neoprenes.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Since I sit up high in my Super Fat Cat, I do not need chest high waders either. I really do not like fighting with the straps. So, I removed the straps from my lightweight waders and just use a waist belt to keep them in place.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I looked for some waist high waders and found several models. But, they are apparently made only for wading and not for sitting. Of the ones I tried on, they pulled down in the back when I sat in them. The top of the back of the waders was low enough when I sat that even in a high riding tube there could be potential for getting a damp backside.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]So, if anybody ever decides they can get by with waist high waders, be sure to try them on and sit down in them before you plunk down the money.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Thanks again for the report.[/#0000ff]
