Breathables?
« on: July 21, 2007, 07:25:17 PM »
I was looking at a pair of Wright and Mcgill breathables today and they sure look nice. 4 layer constuction, you can convert them from chest waders to hip, the wading belt has a back support, and they have a 1 year no questions ask warrenty and after that another 1 year but only on defects. Now my question is does anyone know anything about these waders ie: performance or any problems that they know of.

One other thing their sizeing is not just your standard l,xl, xxl. They have LK XLK XXLK . K stands for king meaning they give a little more room for us slenderly challenged lol.

I bought patagonia's 4 years ago, I sent them back leaking(after 4 years 75-100 days per year)And they sent me a brand new pair of the new styl. The note that came with the waders stated that customer satisfaction garenteed.

Slenderly challenged,I think they should come up with a upgraded size list for you,IE brontosaurus,king Kong,and double king Kong,all sizes come in green or tan.lol ;D ;D

I have 2 years guiding on my wright & mcgills and so far they've been great. The only hesitation I have heard from the shops is warranty work is slow if something does go wrong..
