I have been running neoprene waders for a long time. But decided to give Gator Waders a try.

I have about 10 hunts in them now and all I can say is that I love them! The only downside is the 14/15 size boot is actually only a 13.5 and my feet are not happy about that. They are warm and rugged for sure. The boot has great threads for most applications, however in the river on slick wet rocks they aren't the greatest. But I think it is a fair trade-off for great mud traction. I doubt I will buy another pair of neoprene waders again.
