One of the guys in our crew used Tidewe this duck season. He hunted something like 45 out of 60 days plus a few early teal hunts. Lots of walking in and out, crawling into blinds, retrieving birds in brush and flooded standing corn. At the end of the season he developed a leak in a seam, high in the one leg that would get him noticeably wet.

That is pretty typical wear and tear for many brands with similar results from what I have personally witnessed. He was happy to get one season out of them for the price he paid.

I had great luck with Rogers brand recently. Personally I have gone through many Cabelas brand waders and a set of Drake LST in the past decade also.
