mbrowne Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Anyone have a pair of these? I want to pull the trigger but wondering about sizing. I wear a 36-38 in pants, do these run small or what? Maybe someone has experience with their other products. Thanks fellas! -Matty Quote:Originally Posted by Jibbelsharting is just the worse.

mbrowne Posted March 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Cool, so it seems large would be the fit. Quote:Originally Posted by Jibbelsharting is just the worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockawayjake Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 OK I have the pants. Question- what type of footwear? I tried the pants which have built in "socks", with my pair of NRS Muklucks. you gusses it, the boots are now too small!. I read Jon S thread- he wears a bootie, but do they keep your feet warm in cold water? Anyone have a suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveCap Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 I just got them myself. The large should be fine for you. Use a top with a "double tunnel". It gives a good seal. I've only used them once. I wore neoprene dive boots over them. My feet were cool, but dry. Sunday i'll put some wool socks on first. That should do it. I'll let you know.

rockawayjake Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Thanks Dave, we fish similiar waters,and I have neoprene boots, maybe they will work until the water around here heats up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveCap Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Just make sure you put something on over the socks. Even if it's just sandals. They're only purpose is to keep you dry. Not warmth or traction. If you walk in just the socks, they'll wear right out and you'll probably spring a leak. They also sell neoprene socks that you slop over stocking foot waders. They're designed to "save" your stocking foots. I think Sierra sells them. Probably going for a quick spin tomorrow on SI in the AM if you or anyone else is interested. If so, PM me for where we're putting in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG1 Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Got to the Kokatat booth at paddlesport at 11:00 this morning..... They sold the last XL ten minutes earlier and were completely sold out by 1:00. The rep was kicking himself for not bringing more. By the time I get them I'll be fishing in a bathing suit and T-shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveCap Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Did you try Campmor on Rte 17 in Paramus? You can also try their web site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbrowne Posted March 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Pants and dry top came in. I am very happy with both of these products (so far). I went with the pants in Large, and I am glad I did. Even these are kinda big for a fatty such as myself. The top (Immersion Research) I got is nice too, I didn't get a gasket on the waist of the jacket so we'll see how it goes on the water. Right now I am parading around my house in my full getup with a beer in my hand, waiting for my wife to come home from her first day at the new job. I should get a good laugh out of her. I ordered mine from Campmor, they came to CT in 2 days. Quote:Originally Posted by Jibbelsharting is just the worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wifehatesmefishing Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Anyone ever "try" these pants out? I mean, get in the water with a dry top and a PFD and see if you get wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveCap Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Anyone ever "try" these pants out? I mean, get in the water with a dry top and a PFD and see if you get wet. This weekend, I'll wade in deep in mine when I get back and let you know. I use an Immersion research sea change top with the tunnel system on the bottom. I think not having this type of seal would defeat the idea of being water tight. Mbrowne, I would consder getting a top with a seal. I got my set up at Campmor also. I believe they have the seachange top for around 100.00. You may want to consider exchanging it. Like I said, I'll let you know how I make out this weekend.
