I fished Hodgemens for over 5plus years without leaking..then another 2 with leaks before I broke down and bought another pair. I ordered frogg toggs online and they fit funny..sent em back and got a pair of Cabellas brand waders and they were too big..sent em back for the smaller version of cabbelas and they are still too big but got tired of all the buying and sending..I still wear the cabbelas..I actually have grown to love the baggy feel..Even though I look hip hop its sooo much more comfy to tromp around and putting them on / taking them off is a breeze. The quality is pretty good. The knees are thick so you dont worry about kneeling down in them and the shoulder starps are really comfy. I Just look like a bozo in em..but I catch big fish in em so who cares..I'm comfortable and thats what counts.
The price is right at $150 a pair.

My advice is TRY THEM ON IN STORE IF POSSIBLE...
Happy hunting!
