LL Bean Wader Sale

[Nebe]

I loved mine, but i wore them out in one season. the crotch started to leak at the seams. I probably could have fixed them, but i sent them back.

the material they are made of is really thick stuff.... good for da rocks.

These are not the same ones Nebe... I got those last year when you tipped us off.....had to return they leaked on both legs but it was a double layer section below to above the knee....it was weird the first time I used them Tagger and Back Beach saw me....they ballooned up with a gallon or more in each leg when you came out of deeper water...they were baggy so you had to pull up on each leg to get them to drain.... did`nt get wet but it blew....kinda funny at first....best was the look on Eddys face

those were a dark brown discontinued model....these are different....all sorts of sizes ...weight and height differences covered for now anyways....They are the West Branch model had to get felt boot foot so they are out of the stealth rubber soles.

Just opened the box from LL Bean and they are the same flippin ones as last year....its not the picture they showed online??? I was happy with the baggy fit for me anyways at 6 ft and 260 lbs....can`t get that in many waders and its looks like they don`t have the seam problem as the last ones. They are dark brown.

I've used a couple pairs of the West Branch for a few years. Had some leak issues with both pairs and am trying the Bean Emergers now.

Nebe is right regarding the thick material on the West branch. They are bulit tough that for sure. A bit heavy for my taste, plus i usually fish sandy beaches and bays so i'm trying out the lighter weight emergers now. I was happy with these last season. A little more realxed fitting and alot lighter. But like Nebe said, if your a rock hopper the West branch are a good choice. They are tough!

The solid dark brown ones are the older ones. The new ones they came out with last year were a dark brown with a lighter brown color for the legs i believe. The ones pictured are the ones i used a couple years ago.

Just bought a pair based on the info you guys posted..... I figure $150 breathables are a good deal. if I wear them 1 year and I fish my normal 100+ nights is $1.50 a night
