Sitka waders

Do you hunt up north a lot?

I wear my lightweight waders majority of the season.

Imo not worth the $ for here, you will only get the benefit from the once a year or so on a big artic front.

Yeah you probably aren’t getting Sitka waders on sale from then direct. You might catch a Mack’s or Rogers sale though. They aren’t even included with the Sitka outfitter discount. I will add they replace them with no questions asked and their customer service is outstanding which is basically like their version of KY.

I agree. You don’t need super high quality down here. I wear Sitka and FirstLite in Montana because it’s warm af and great quality for spending a week in the mountains.

it doesn't need to be cold to wear sitka waders

But $1000 is a lot for some waders

to me its only worth it if you guide or hunt 40+ times a season

Agree $1k for waders is crazy but my understanding is they have a lifetime warranty.

If you could afford them and hunt a lot, I could see it making sense as you won’t buy another pair again.

Never said shite about Chene because you're right, I am not familiar with them.

The boots on the Sitka are insulated, I took the leg padding as insulation but technically it is not. Regardless Gore-tex is fricking hot/warm. The warranty is nice but for the price I can buy half a dozen pairs and rotate/repair as needed.

I have Sitka but mostly for western hunting, have the bibs but use them for fishing. Most guides that I am friends with have Simms which is what I would use if I hunted more than I do now.

Go try and start shite on the OT.
