Wading in large pond

I bought these to replace an older pair of rubber waders that are too heavy to wear all day in the summer, but when they came I couldnt believe what i saw. I could barely get them over my thighs and struggled to get them as far as my waist. I dont know who these are made for, but I dont know anybody with a 26 inch chest. There is no widening at the top to allow movement, so once you have them on, assuming youre a snake, you wont be able to bend over. No wonder theyre on sale. Absolute rubbish.

From a limited sample, these are getting poorly reviewed. The waders are entirely functional and allowed me to get my boat off the water in comfort. Happy with them

These are low cost waders, of course you do not expect them to be comfortable and durable. You do however expect them to keep you dry - at least for a while. Bought two pairs for recent fishing trip and both leaked within 12 hours of use. One pair leaked immediately in the seam above the boot and then higher up on the leg seam and crotch. Second pair leaked in the morning of day two. I would not reccomend these to anyone, especially people that count on a name like Shakespeare and bring their products on an expensive trip - which, without dry waders, is much less fun than it should be.

Item seemed to be of good quality but it was impossible to breath or bend when fully on due to the chest area being very tight. I am of normal build and not overweight and the only way you could feel comfortable in these is if you had a physique of a snake
