I was thinking TideWe was a Temu company but not sure. Are their waders decent quality?

I bought a pair of their 800 gram insulated waders this season to use to cross a river in Ohio. I had to cross it to get to my hunting spot since the river was too high for my hip waders.

They seem to be really good quality, especially for the price. They did perfectly fine so I’m happy with the purchase.

I have one of their blinds and some hunting clothes from them and have no complaints.

It’s a Chinese company that has made itself look like an American company, complete with a fake backstory. You’re getting decent quality stuff from what I understand, but they can sell it cheap because they don’t employ any Americans (other than some influencers).

My son has one of their backpacks and their ankle boots. Both seem to be pretty well made and cheap.

I have eyed their ground blinds a couple of times, may end up grabbing on next time they are on sale.

I bought one of their blinds to hunt with lil bootlegger in behind the house. It's much better than what I thought it would be, for the price.

I borrowed a set of neoprenes this past weekend. There were the lower end style, nothing fancy. Worked great. I was impressed. Thinking about buying a set. Few folks at camp have their rubber boots. Seem similar to mucks, but a lot cheaper. No complaints from any folks I know.

Ground blinds and backpack are legit. I'm thinking about grabbing some waders for next season.

Hisea is another good budget brand for rubber boots. Mine have held up longer than my old Lacrosse boots and I spent 1/3 of the price.

Just bought some. Got 70% off. I’ve worn them a couple of times. They seem to be pretty good quality. Fit is good.
They aren’t Simms or Chene. But you’re not paying $1000+ either.
I’m happy with mine.

Chinese junk. Disposable waders if you actually use them a lot. Tried a pair a few seasons ago, they were shite.

I am not saying you are wrong, but it is not uncommon for an American entrepreneur to formulate an idea for a company and trademark the company in China. Anyone can register a trademark in China, even if they are not the original brand owner. They do this to "trademark squat" and exploit the trademark for their own profit.

It goes without saying that just about anything you buy clothing related has ties to China somewhere in the manufacturing process.

Yea, but if I’m going cheap, I’d rather buy something from a company like Roger’s or Mack’s, who actually employs American workers.

Same here. I like mine. I guess I am just to cheap to spend a ton for Sitka Gore-tex but Frog Togg's are straight junk. I give the rain jackets at least a thumbs up.

My neoprene ones have lasted 3 seasons no tears or seam splits. I use them a fair bit in flooded timber and have had sticks poke them and haven’t had any problems.

I caught mine on sale for $69 bucks.

Why all of the downvotes on my Drake post? Is there some issue that I am unaware of?
