Been waiting to write a review til I used these. First time out these wader fit like a glove. there a perfect amt of room in them for easy movement to climb over down trees and to climb stream side hills. Prefect for warmer weather with less bulk than if you just pull down your full waders.

Always wanted a pair of wading pants but found the big name companies too pricey. These wading pants are well made and very easy to get on and off. Most of my deep wading days using chest waders are past and I will use these for hiking into areas where there is less fishing pressure and the water is not above my waist. I’m 6 feet tall and wear a size 11 shoe. The ML fits perfectly.

Pleasantly surprised. I’m a size “economy plus” as they say…6′ 3″ and a healthy belt line and these fit very well. Good flexibility and generous room to comfortably walk, sit and stretch. I thought the booties fit well to my size 13 foot. The neoprene belt didn’t help much but switching out to a more standard webbing belt did the trick. Very happy with these.

Bought my first waders 4-5 yrs ago, retired and fish a lot, they finally “got old” tho no major leaks(just frayed gravel guards and wearing at seams) . Outlasted all my previous high end name waders. Got a second set of waders this year, customer support with shipping problem was exceptional, personal service. (Shipping problem was UPS, not DRYFT.
Just got my Seeker pants for option to wet wading and so far love them. Expect them to perform as the others

Received my wading pants and it looked and felt comfortable for all day but sadly with me being “vertically challenged” at 6′ 1″ and 200 lb the stocking foot section was not comfortable as I wear size 13 street yet they ran quite small.
I wish they had a hair more room (ie size 12-14- like other brands)
I have not used the pants and cannot say anything about it other than the fit and feel prior going in the field with it. Stocking foot section was too tight/short so didn’t get a chance to use it.
Hence the reason I’m “neutral” in review of the product.

Great product!
I’m 6’ 205 lbs, large is prefect !
At first I ordered large long,, just a bit to tall,, my fault,,, free exchanges with no issues to a large,,! Would love to see a back pocket,, loved the performance of the jean looking wader,, stepping, walking & crouching .
I only have got to use 2 days for @ 4 hrs each day , very comfortable, over all I would highly recommend & do. Keep up the good work!

XL short for 5’8” 220 lbs with size 11 boots was perfect. Bought these for Montana fly fishing trip and they were great for wading fast current super cold water, sitting on rocks tying on flies, bush whacking to less pressured waters, and even for long drives to more rivers and streams!!! Another great thing is they don’t swoosh swoosh swoosh as you walk around! My brother has a way more expensive pair of wading pants that rhymes with Himms and he sounded like a pair of 70s corduroys!! We came out of Yellowstone and walked around town and my son said who the hell wears jeans in 90 degree heat!!! He realized I still had on my waders!! Haha. So the jean look might be a gimmick but they truly mimic Levi’s! I did change the belt cause I couldn’t pull the dryft belt tight enough but that was it! Gravel guards were easy to hook and cover, the buttons and zipper were great for easy burping of the pants and for relieving yourself on long days! Don’t let the jean print scare you, there were high quality!!!

XL short was perfect for 5’8” 220lbs size 11 boot. Bought them for a Montana Fly fishing trip. Perfect comfort in fast currents, cold as hell streams, sitting on rocks tying flies on lines, and driving around all day from river to river! Bush whacking to less pressured water didn’t seem to bother these waders either! And the best part is the Jean look!! As we walked through West Yellowstone after fishing, my son said who the hell would wear jeans when it’s 90 out!! Then realized I was still in my waders!! Hahaha. So the Jean look might be a gimmick but it real does mimic a good pair of Levi’s! I couldn’t pull the belt tight enough so I simply changed the belt and the pants fit perfect. One other great thing!! These did not swoosh swoosh swoosh as you walk! My brother has a much more expensive other brand of wader pants that rhymes with Himms and he was swooshing all day like corduroys in the 70s!!

I’ve only got to where these once but that that has given me enough to do a first hand review. They are nice, fit well everywhere but in the ankles/gravel guard area. It’s too small. Hard to get the gravel guard over the boot. And I wear a wadding boot with a BOA lacing system. That bump is enough to make it almost impossible to get the gravel guards over the BOA lacing system. These had a double gravel guard on them. The 2nd one is just for show, its tighter than the main gravel guard. I had to have help to get them both over and they were stretched really tight. Maybe too tight. More use will tell. I hope they don’t rip. This is the reason they got a 4 and not 5 star. Other than that they fit for my size ordered. They were indeed waterproof. The only other thing that I can recommend is get the suspenders to hold them up. I’m a bigger guy and without them I spent a lot of time pulling them back up. And for kicks and giggles they look like blue jeans they even printed fake back pockets on them. My girlfriend thought that was cool.

I brought these pant waders along on a two week fly fishing trip for Arctic Char in Greenland. These waders held up to two weeks of hiking 10-15 miles a day through brush, tundra peat bogs, sharp rocks and rough boat surfaces. I will bring them along next season.
Great product!

Purchased a size medium for summer fishing and they did not disappoint. They are comfortable and cool, not to mention look great. Even did some crawling on my hands and feet over a log to get to my spot. I did purchase a non- stretching belt so I could hang my staff on it. I found the feet a bit tight for my size 11 feet. Hopefully they’ll streach out with time.

I just had this for about a month now and I surf fished with it 3 times and I like it so far, looks durable.
Just one thing about the zipper tho, my phone, wallet and keys all got soaking wet to realized the zipper is not water proof at all.

I spent a lot of time researching these waders and when I got them they were exactly what I hoped for. The next bright spot was when I met up with my guide for a trip in New York (he was from an Orvis shop) and he was wearing he same SEEKR pants! I love the movement and freedom in them and having front pockets comes in very handy for floatant and other small necessities. But the main reason for the five stars is customer service (which in this day and age is almost nonexistent). I had a small leak in the right knee that I noticed Memorial Day weekend. I sent an email on Memorial Day while I was still away fishing, figuring I would get a response maybe Tuesday or Wednesday. Much to my surprise, I had a response from Amber in less than 2 hours (on a freaking holiday). She apologized for the problem and told me they were shipping out another pair right away. 5 minutes later I had an email with a tracking number for my replacement pair. I couldn’t ask for more! Thank you for making such a good product and then standing behind it with outstanding customer service.
