Went to put decoys out yesterday and found out that I have a leak in each of my boots. I am 6' and 160lbs so most waders that I get are huge in the chest and waist. Since I need a new pair I am looking for something that will fit a little better. Can any of my skinny baws recommend a pair of waders that actually fit?

Was talking about this in the blind yesterday. The Simms waders are slim fit, as are the Sitkas. both are pricey AF.

I'm not a Duck hunter, but I know a lot of them, They are always bitchin about waders.
I always suggest to them, to check out some diver's dry suits with the zipper across the back of the shoulders and a relief zipper in the front to take a piss. Buy it large, and you can wear whatever clothes you need inside. They are a bit expensive at first but they last and last with proper care of the zippers and leaks are easy to seal up with aqua seal.
They will also float you around like a beach ball, if something happens.

Yeah my Game Winner hybrids from Academy were the best fit I ever had. I’m also tall and lean.

Predator gear dry suit. $900 in shadow grass but supposed to be akin to a survival suit like those worn on crabbing boats in Alaska. Probably roast in one though on the gulf coast....

I personally have never found any clothing that was too big and do not feel badly for anyone who does . Everyone has their burdens in life

Harvey's use to make one that was called The Shell Hogg suit, I had one of those that I used for several winters diving on The Tennessee River. I don't think they make that suit anymore, but their lowest priced suit is very similar. Those suits do have valves on them, so you can shoot cold, or warm air inside. Pretty easy to do really, if you are on top of the water.

I have these and they've been solid. Seem to fit better than most others as well.

They make 'em big so when the hunting sucks you can fit your gf in those waders with you.

Not many options these days for that. Especially in any insulated one for duck hunting. Hell the cheap black rubber ones we use for the seine crew on the catfish farm are 200 dollars

This is genius. Do they make camo ones? If not, they should
