Great wading pants, warm and rugged. A little more length in the inseam and crotch would be nice, though. As a well seasoned fisherman, I do not spend a lot of time deep wading like I used to, so these are the perfect waders for me. Great value for a superb product.
Janet E DeNardo –
After Watching hours of youtube video from PA fishing guys I had to check those DRYFT waders out. Look great but not suitable for female anglers. When are companies going to realize women fish too!?

Hi Janet,
Thanks for leaving us this feedback. We are in the final design stages of a women’s specific wader that we’ll be releasing this fall. Stay tuned for more details soon! Thanks, -Nick

Got the pants a couple months ago. After several trips I can say that they are a great product and well worth the price. Looking at getting the coat before Fall comes to stay dry throughout the rainy months in Washington

I’ve only had a chance to wear them once but the fit is great… perfect! I purchased some Primo Waders late last summer and have upwards of 50 days in them already… they’re holding up great. See no reason why the pants would be any less awesome. My only concern (and it’s not a huge one) is that the pants will be hot given they’re a dark color and the Southern Oregon sun and heat is relentless mid-summer…

A perfect wading pant. The style and performance are on point! Not to mention the customer service if you need to exchange for a different size like I did. Highly recommend.

My jean size is a 34 waist 32 long so I bought the medium long waiting pants. The waist and length are good but no room in the crotch area. So sadly I’m returning them.

Have fished these waders here in Colorado since December – Recently fished in them 5 Days in a row. No leaks, they’re comfortable, I have also received a fair amount of compliments as they look pretty damn good on! No complaints here. Dryft’s session pant is perfect for low Colorado flow days or just a day in and out of the Dr(y)ft Boat.

Twice the wader for half the money as one of their well known competitors. I would recommend them to anyone that wants a premium wader. By far the best wader I have ever owned.

Great pants, get price, and very practical … this review is for my son, who I purchased these for as a gift prior to an adventure to Montana. We fished for almost a week, sunup to sundown … he only removed the pants to sleep at night … they we extremely comfortable and stylish to boot! I am seriously considering purchasing a pair for myself! Great job Draft team! -Dan Davey
