Drake waders normally last me 20-30 hunts, so less than a season. They have a failure at the exact same place for exact same design flaw every time and the last time they didn't warranty them.

All waders suck. This past weekend my buddy was borrowing my back ups because chene didn't fix his correctly so hes been without functioning waders for 3 weeks now. My new waders that retail for 1100, thank you rodgers clearance, have a leaky "waterproof" zipper at chest level. Either me or my buddies have owned damn near every major brand of waders and they all leak within a season of guiding.

Buy something cheap and replace when the leak gets bad.

Bought a pair to get me through the season. My $1k pair had leaks in both boots.

Ordered them on Sunday night, got here on Thursday. Hunted this weekend, breaking ice two days in them. They worked, no leaks. $118 bucks delivered.

If I can get a few more days out of them, I will be happy.

I think they have some nicer ones, about $300-400 range after discount, that are actually decent waders. guide was wearing them in the Dakotas and was bragging on them.
