Hodgman Waders Reviews

Outdoor adventures are enriched by having the right gear, and Hodgman consistently delivers high-performing, reliable products based on these reviews:

As a professional fly fishing guide operating in the rugged mountain regions of Montana, my Hodgman waders are put through an extreme gauntlet of abuse day in and day out. From trudging through icy, boulder-strewn streams to clambering over treacherously slick rocks and embankments, I need gear that can keep up with the most demanding conditions without fail. My Hodgman Caster Neoprene Waders have been an absolute workhorse, rising to every challenge the wilderness throws their way. The 3.5mm neoprene construction locks in critical warmth and insulation even on the chilliest pre-dawn morning trips, allowing me to stay comfortable and focused while standing waist-deep in bone-chilling currents for hours on end as I coach clients. The double-reinforced knees have held up incredibly well against the relentless abuse of jagged, unforgiving rocky terrain, showing minimal wear despite season after season of scrambling up and down streambeds. And the cleated rubber boot soles provide the kind of sure, grippy footing I desperately need when wading through deceptively powerful currents – even when pushed to my limits, I've never once felt a single moment of instability or lost my footing thanks to their aggressive tread. What really sets these waders apart for me though is their outrageous articulation and flexibility. The neoprene stretches and moves remarkably well, never restricting my casting motion or inhibiting my mobility as I constantly reposition myself in the water. After two incredibly demanding seasons of heavy guiding use, pushing them to their absolute limits nearly every single day, these waders have incredibly shown zero signs of leaking, delamination, or breaking down. Hodgman's fanatical attention to detail in construction and premium materials result in waders that can genuinely go the distance in even the most extreme settings. I'm incredibly impressed with their ruggedness and longevity, and am fully confident these will last me several more tough seasons of guiding without issue.

Fly Fishing Guide

I find myself regularly working in some pretty extreme and unforgiving outdoor environments in pursuit of capturing the perfect shot. Whether I'm slogging for miles through a swampy, snake-infested marsh, climbing over endless fallen logs and rocky outcroppings deep in the backcountry, or pushing my way through acres of brambles and punishing thornbushes, I need outdoor apparel and gear that can truly take a beating without failing. My Hodgman Mackenzie Hip Waders have been an absolute godsend in keeping me protected and allowing me to access remote areas that very few would ever dare to go. The lightweight, flexible nylon construction allows for incredible mobility, dexterity, and freedom of movement when frequently having to climb over obstacles, crawl through brush, or crouch in precarious positions for long periods to get the perfect angle. And despite their thin, minimalist profile, the fabric is incredibly tough and durable – it has repeatedly shrugged off abrading from punishingly jagged rocks, shredding by viciously thorny bushes, and countless snags and tears that would easily render most competing products useless after minimum exposure. The cleated rubber PVC boots provide excellent traction on even the slickest of surfaces, and amazing grip in muddy soil that allows me to confidently traverse areas that would otherwise be too dangerous. But what really blew me away with the Hodgman Mackenzie waders is just how impeccably dry and comfortable they keep me – even after slogging for an entire day through submerged wetlands up to my waist, battling myriad leech attacks and pushing through dense vegetation, not a single drop of moisture has ever penetrated through. The suspenders are fully adjustable allowing me to perfectly tailor the fit, and the soft interior lining prevents any chafing or hot spots. For such an affordable and reasonably-priced product, the quality of materials and construction, along with their performance capabilities, blows away much pricier options from other brands I've used in the past. These waders have quite literally allowed me to get into spots that most photographers would never dare to venture, all while keeping me protected from the elements and comfortable enough to stay laser-focused on capturing. They've been an absolute must-have for my outdoor photography work.

As a professional tournament angler competing at the highest levels of bass fishing, having gear that prioritizes comfort, lightweight mobility, and ultra-reliable, zero-fail performance is absolutely critical – even the smallest nagging issue like chafing or lack of traction can easily throw off your whole mental game and cost you valuable time and positioning over the course of a long tournament day out on the water. My Hodgman Mackenzie Cleated Bootfoot waders have been an absolute gamechanger in this regard. They're so lightweight, thin and flexible that I hardly even notice I have them on, which is huge when I'm constantly moving around the deck of the boat, setting up and stowing different rods/reels, tending to my livewell, making hundreds of boat-angle casts from awkward stances, and even occasionally getting in/out of the water to free a snagged lure. Their minimal profile and weight makes them utterly unrestrictive and zero-fatigue to wear even over those long 10+ hour marathon tourneys. The cleated rubber boots provide sure, locked-in traction whether I'm stepping out onto a slippery, moss-covered dock or firmly bracing myself against powerful wind/current while balancing precariously along a rocky bank. Despite their thin, breathable profile, the Hodgman waders have kept me perfectly dry and moisture-free even after countless mornings spent accidentally submerging my entire lower body while arduously unhooking and resuscitating hard-fighting bass in the water near my craft. They've also held up incredibly well against heavy abuse from brambles, brush, and unseen hazards without major damage – the nylon shell easily shakes off snags from underbrush and exhibits zero squeaking, cracking or material degradation even after extended use under harsh conditions. Feature-wise, the internal chest pocket is clutch for stowing must-have items like my fishing license, phone, and car keys in a secure place, while the suspenders ensure a locked-in fit despite constantly bending and twisting at the waist to make casts and fight fish. The waders are also incredibly buoyant in case of an unexpected fall overboard. For the very reasonable price, these waders simply deliver incredible quality and performance that gives me the total confidence to lock in and focus fully on my tournament game without stressing over nagging gear issues. I'm incredibly impressed with their comfort, utility, and resilience.
