I bought a pair of the Sitka delta zip waders for the 18-19 season. I bought em after working a whole summer doing private contracting and interning. I will say they are with out a doubt the best ones I’ve ever worn. I went through a few pairs of waders prior to me buying these and what I like about the waders are they are lightweight, comfortable, durable, and had zero issues. I hunted with them in Idaho, southern Oregon, all across Northern California etc.. in different hunting weather conditions and they held up so well to what I threw at them. I can’t wait to use em for the next few seasons before sending them back in. I think they were worth it. I work hard for my money and I want the best gear money can buy. Glad you like em! Good luck this waterfowl season in California.

I absolutely agree about wader quality going down. I bought the low end Cabelas brand in 2003 and had to replace them 2011. Since then I’ve been replacing waders every 2-3 seasons. Good luck with these!

For sure!

The belt is more of a safety thing than anything. Especially if you're hunting rivers. It helps air stay trapped in the waders and provides buoyancy while also slowing the influx of water if you fall in. I'd leave the belt on, but that's just me.

@MidValleyMercenaries

Ya I agree that it creates air in the bottom half which helps you float but I’ve tested breathables in the water with no belt and you still float. Might have test it both ways just for the fun of it

Loved the grand refuge for the first season. Last weekend left boot had catastrophic failures. Big long cracks in the rubber on the top of the boot. I’m guessing from kneeling and the boot bending. I checked, and the right boot has the same cracks just haven’t bled through yet. Waders need stiffer boot soles to prevent the bend if the rubber can’t hold up to the stress of it. Stuff like a mountaineering boot. Maybe even a metal shank in the sole. Thanks for the video post, glad to finally see one that isn’t just another promo video from a sporting goods store just reading off the features. Looking forward to a prod&cons review soon. Was hoping you’d flex the shoe a little in this video, as that is where my last two pairs of waders failed. Those boots look interesting, and I’m curious how they perform.

I bought mine at this time last year. They’re cool. Honestly I could live with or without them. They’re a tad bit cold when the weather really bottoms out and I have to layer the crap out of them but they’re nice when it’s hot and in early season honestly.
