Amazing Waders

I’m blown away by the quality of these waders! It’s amazing how durable these are especially considering how lightweight they are. The boots are amazingly comfortable and don’t compress on your toes like some. My last pair of Sitka waders lasted me eight years and counting of almost everyday of the season hunting and guiding. Sitka waders are the toughest most thought out waders on the market!

Nice quality

So far its nice wader. . the only thing i don't like much is the knee pad. . maybe im short but the knee pad comes all the way up pass my knees and its a bit too stiff hard for me to walk an bend my knee. Maybe just needs a break in period. . idk

Delta VentLite Zip GTX

I got these in the optifade marsh. These are absolutely great waders. The best feature are the new lite weight boots. Very comfortable for all day hunts in the marsh or in a sink box. Second best feature, they can be layered up or down depending on the weather. I’m waiting on the optifade timber to come back in stock and will be scooping them up!

Lightest and most comfortable waders

I bought these waders at the start of duck season and wore them through the end of goose season. I wore them for 34 days of hunting. I have been wearing waders throughout my 55 years of waterfowl hunting and these without a doubt are the lightest, most comfortable, and most durable waders I have ever worn. In colder weather I wear them with the Sitka Gradient pants and I am completely warm and comfortable. I wear a size 10. 5 shoe and I purchased size 11 which was a perfect fit. I purchased a large size as I am 6 foot and 160 lbs. and customer service had recommended that size for me. The zipper is great and I never need to take the straps off of my shoulder until I take them off at the end of the day. They are expensive but I expect these to last for many years. Just the comfort of wearing them makes them worth the price to me. I only use Sitka gear for my waterfowling hunting and I am very pleased with all of the different items I own. My son also wears all Sitka gear and is very comfortable.

Sitka waders

Wonderful waders. I went up a boot size for width with thick socks. The new boots are so light and comfortable compared to any boots on the market. I’m 5’10” and 225lb athletic. I got the standard fit, the XL were too baggy for me. Chest is 48”

Delta Ventlife Zip Gtx wader

Can’t believe how much lighter these are compared to the same waders with the neoprene boots. Per the sizing chart the xl should fit nicely but they ran small compared to the xxl. Looking forward to hunting in these when Duck season opens in November!

really light waders!

these have to be the lightest toughest waders on the market. i was surprised to see how the seams were built and how tough these waders are. beautiful strong light boot with great tread. if these hold up as long as my last pair of waders have from Sitka ill be very pleased.

Break in period

Love the Weight compared to the last generation of Sitka waders. Hunted Canada and impoundments in North Carolina 7 days total. Takes a minute to break in the New heavy duty knee pads. Rubbed knees raw just flexing knee sitting in the blind. Overall recommend .

The fit is super nice. Love the comfort of the boot. I find that the knee pads are a little too stiff and tend to get in way more.

Surprisingly worth it

For the last pair of waders I ever plan to own, these are actually worth it. Just returned from a trip where these were put through the ringer on numerous snags, beaver cuts, boot pulling deep mud, and long walks to the truck. Hands down THE most comfortable waders I have ever owned. I bought the first pair of breathable waders decades ago and have had countless models ever since. These are lighter, tougher, more breathable, and ridiculously more comfortable. Sitka's product research team came through on these. They are worth it. I look forward to wearing them into the late season this year and many more to come.
