I haven’t actually purchased a pair of these yet but I was fortunate enough to wear a pair on a salmon fishing charter that our guide provided. Holy cow, I can’t state enough with how impressed I was. Comfortable, lightweight, roomy. I’ve never put on a pair of wading pants that are like these! Once I get the funds for them, I will be purchasing a pair for myself.

Just wanted to drop a line and state how happy I am with the Dryft Session Seekr wading pants. By far the best waders I’ve ever owned.
Tight lines from Medow Creek @ Ohiopyle Pennsylvania

Very please with my waders, have recommended to other people. Great quality. You guys need to come out with a woman’s line so I can get my girl in some dryft
Adam B Embry (verified owner) –
Love my new waders! This jean-like look is unique and I’m kind of digging it. Easy to get on and off. But most importantly the support staff is really great. Would highly recommend getting yourself a pair of these. You won’t be disappointed!

Top notch as expected from DRYFT.
great fit..I am 5’10” 182 lbs inseam 31 and medium long fits perfectly.
if unsure of fit email DRYFT and they will help you figure out which is best.
personally I do not need suspenders with these. the stock elastic belt suffices although
I did purchase their heavier duty belt which I prefer for my full length DRYFT zippered waders.

I have used my waders a couple times now and they are solid. Very comfortable to wear. Ordered the large (5’11, 225) and they fir perfect plenty of room to move and comfortable to hike into those less fished spots.
Mike (verified owner) –
Great wader made fishing a pleasurer.
Highly recommend.
Sebastian (verified owner) –
Used 4 times so far. Just great! Light weight. Perfectly sized M long for 160lbs 5’10”. Pockets are nice touch. Highly recommend.
Robert Lefelar (verified owner) –
Real comfortable, kept me dry and had a bunch of positive comments on their looks.
Frank –
Really liked the waders…except for the fact the L were too big and the ML too small and had to return both. Waist on L was way big (I’m a 35-36 waist) and these were huge. The ML were no bigger than a 34 waist at best…Quality was awesome…Fit was disappointing…

I bought my SEEKr waist-highs late last season, and have been putting them through quite a workout. I’m rarely in water higher than my thighs, so I was looking to move away from classic full waders once the water temps get above 40. These waders are just great. At 6’1″, 180, the ML are a perfect fit. I haven’t seen it mentioned here before, but the neoprene feet are just the right thickness for proper warmth and fit great in my boots.
As far as style (which isn’t really that important, but is worth mention) I have had a few people on the banks of creeks ask if I was cold or crazy as they thought I was wading in my jeans. Thanks for a great product. I hope that with good care they will last for many trips into the water.

I am so please with the session SEEKR wading pants, not only are they comfortable I don’t feel goofy wearing them in public (sporting goods stores) I also purchased the waterproof backpack it is a must have if you are hiking, fly fishing or just using it day to day! The guys at Dryft are awesome and there hasn’t been a product I have purchased that I wouldn’t recommend to everyone. I am proud to be one of their pro staff and look forward to see what’s next for production! (Hopefully wading boots) hint hint Nick!

I’m so glad I got these. I have been looking to replace my full size waders as the streams I fish do not require me to wade more than thigh deep. I did a huge amount of research on the limited number of wading pant products out there. Reviewed all the various products specs and the good the bad and the ugly reviews. Didn’t feel great about any of em, fatal flaws reported on some and the limited sizing options compared to boot size seemed wrong, even on some higher end models. Came upon a DRYFT recommendation on a random fishing forum. These are simply perfect. I am 5’7” 160 pounds ordered a M. The fit is perfect, inseam spot on not baggy not short, the material is so comfortable, every detail, the pockets, the belt, is awesome and screams quality. The fit is so good I can climb all around the stream banks and through brush with so much ease compared to my full waders. I’ve been fishing more than I usual because these are just so easy to put on and fun to wear.

Just got my Seekr waist-high waders a couple weeks ago and I love them so far! Had another brand for many years and got a lot of miles out of them but over time they started to seep and leak in spots. Finally decided to pull the trigger on these Dryft Seekrs and glad I did!
Awesome style and color, and very comfortable for a full day on the water. I fish PA catch and release special regs streams, and usually walk/hike quite a ways when I fish so a light, comfortable pair of waders is a MUST. And these Seekr waders are everything they’re cracked up to be and more! Loaded with features, quality construction, great style, at a fair price too! If you’re on the fence….don’t be! Just get ’em, you’ll be glad you did!

Great wading pants. 5’11” 160 pounds …the medium long are perfect. Super comfortable. Very cool looking. Light weight will be perfect when it gets warmer out.
