5

Fits really well - These extra infos on the website helps getting the right size. The only negative of the sizes is that they haven’t any small women sizes boot 5. I just have to do with shorts!

Tough, comfortable, stylish and dry - The manufacturers of the Desolve Drift Waders boast that these waders are tough, “… good luck trying to bust ‘em”. I inadvertently put that claim to the test when I crashed my shin into a submerged log. I knew I had taken skin off the shin, and I thought I had wrecked my new waders first trip out. No, there was not a mark on the waders. I’ve had a few trips with them now. They are indeed tough, with five layers of fabric in the seat and legs. The gravel guards fit snuggly over the boot and stay put whether you hook the guards onto the boot lace or not. Despite their toughness, they are also very comfortable, either when fishing or walking. Other anglers have noted that they are indeed quite stylish, but most importantly, they’ve kept me dry after long hours in the water. There’s a huge zipped pocket in front, with a hand warmer behind, a smaller internal pocket useful for more precious items like car keys or phone. These are my second set of waders from Evolve Outdoor (Desolve Supply Co.), the first being Riverworks Z series waders and boots. If I get as many season from the Drift Waders as I did from my Riverworks then I’ll be happy, but I expect to get more use out of them. I certainly expect a longer life than my previous famous big name American waders, which lasted 14 months of light fishing. One thing, the size chart on the Desolve Supply Co. webpages don’t make sense. If I followed their recommendation, I’d be wearing 2XL. I could swim inside those. Thanks to Steve at the Flyshop NZ, I got the right size. Trust Steve, trust the Flyshop size chart.
