westhavendave Posted December 29, 2001 Report Share Posted December 29, 2001 The great wader search continues. Anyone own this product? If You do your opinions would be appreciated, I have seen some reviews on other sites with some durability issues. Let me know. Thanks,Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishSticks Posted December 29, 2001 Report Share Posted December 29, 2001 Dave, I have been using the Clearwater waders for three years, and have had no problems. However, I have not used them in the surf, I have used them only while trout fishing in freshwater. They have been used hard (walking through the woods, and falling on rocks), and I think that they will hold up in the surf. I think that they are a great product for the $.

Ltspruce Posted December 30, 2001 Report Share Posted December 30, 2001 I purchased a pair this past july. I did have to return two pairs because of leaks. The return policy is good and they honor thier products 100%. overall I think they are good light-weight waders at a reasonable price. They are very comfortable to wear and found them to be a relief in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodchucker Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 I've had a pair of Clearwater bootfoots for a little over a year and love them. Very lightweight and cool in the summer, but warm enough for spring and fall. Have used them maybe 20-30 times in the surf and love them. No leaks so far. My only complaint- they don't have belt loops and I've mananged to lose 2 belts. I guess I really can't blame that on Orvis, can I? btw- In the belt department Patagonia makes a nice stretchy (and adjustable) belt with a positive clasp that is better than the one that Orvis sells with the waders. Hope this helps- WC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
