The good and the bad. I’ll update the review later. ******review updated*****
So I purchased these waders a week ago and they are already leaking. That being said they could just have a faulty taping at the booty, but I am returning and getting another pair to find out. So let’s grt down to the nitty gritty.The good - these waders are super comfortable. The foot fits great. The lined pocket is great for warming up cold hands and there are a bunch of pockets to store things in. Honestly the only thing I can fault these waders with is the leaky foot. And even that leak is minor. I’m praying I just received an off wader. These waders are pretty much the same thing as Simms freestone waders if I had to make a comparison.The bad - the waders are leaking after going out twice. I’ve owned them for a week and a half. I tried calling the manufacturers number on here and it was wrong and sent me to a furniture store that was pissed people keep calling. The other number was to their distributor that just told me to return and buy new ones. I finally went on the website and got the real number for the company. They told me I could send the waders in and they would repair them and send them to me in a few weeks. The waders are a week old so that’s insane. I’m in the middle of the fall striper season in NJ so I don’t need these waders stopping me from fishing. So I’m returning and getting new ones. If the new ones hold up and don’t leak them I’m changing my review to 5 stars. Until then 3.******Update****** so I’ve been beating the hell out of the replacements I received and must say they have been fantastic. Been fishing hardcore for striped bass in the Raritan Bay and they have been great. No leaks, comfortable and light. Also the pockets are great. I know I got a bum pair the first time around, but these worked out awesome.

Top Quality, Bottom Price
I have had my eye on Compass 360 waders for over a year. After hearing many positive reviews and stories of the companies roots I wanted to give them a shot. I was fortunate to find that Scheels in Colorado (major sporting goods store) carried Compass 360 goods. I was told by the sales rep that you just cant beat the quality vs price, he said one of their models outsold Simms, Patagonia, Redington, and Frogg Toggs. Material is heavy and thick which was what I wanted and sturdy, you're going to have to try really hard to get a puncture with these. If you're in the market for waders and want Simms quality without the $500 price tag, this is your product.

Look and feel like $400 waders
I will give it 4 stars for now and hope to upgrade to 5 stars after trying them out. The fit is good. If you are on the border go up a size, especially if you plan on hiking a lot. I'm 6ft and 180, 32x32, size 11 shoe. I ordered size large. I think if I were an 11.5 the booties would be too snug. I don't plan to hike a lot which is good because the inseam is slightly short if you plan to lift your legs higher than an average stair step. I love the BAP! It is big! The fleece is super soft and both hands fit easily inside, confident it will be warm. The material feels tougher and more solid than other breathable waders, but they are light. Suspenders, belt and buckles all feel high quality. On dry ground they look and feel like $400 plus waders. The draw cord around the chest is great! I will be able to customize the fit depending on layers. The inside flip out pocket is a thick material, not mesh like others. It held my phone, wallet and keys. I look forward to many years on the water in these waders.

They'll get the job done
First off I'm 6'1-190 lbs so I ordered the LARGE. I've been having trouble trying to find waders that aren't baggy. These are nice waders and feel like they'll hold up really well. I was a little disappointed they didn't come with a patch kit for the price. They fit me pretty well but are a little tight in the inseam. The draw string at the top for your chest also doesn't hold when tightend. Overall not a bad pair for the money but not the best

First impressions count
Arrived in time for a 3 day stretch on a local river trip and I was impressed with the fit and quality, lower legs are reinforced and all for the better as these were getting roughed up on the BlackBerry thistles on the river bank when I was droppin in and out of the river... Tough and well made these are as good as a pair of Simms bit your not paying for the name... Hand warmer pockets are the dogs bollocks and keep your hands warm whilst your stood surveying the runs.. Looking forward to running these through the river again in a couple of weeks time... Well recommended for the price but will need to beat 4 years that I got on a pair of frog toggs before I give them a 5 star rating

Good for all types of wading, even saltwater flats.
Just enough pocket storage and rugged enough to thrash through South Florida mangrove access areas if you're reasonably careful. Stocking feet. Hint: I wear neoprene low cut scuba shoes over the waders' feet, about two sizes larger than my size 10 1/2 feet. I find the shoes go on and come off easier than would high top boots. Some people who have rated this product found some problems with them but that hasn't been my experience.

Leakers
Bought a pair of these after extensive research. They were very comfortable but leaked into the booties within the 3rd use. I contacted customer support and the woman couldn't have been any nicer. She told me they would normally have me ship the waders back to them so they could examine them but the company was in the process of moving so she would send me new waders and I could keep the leaking pair. I received the new pair promptly and they too leaked within the first 2 or 3 uses. Not sure I want to even try for another replacement if they are going to continue to leak. I put Gorilla tape around the underside of the gravel guards where they meet the leg. It stopped the leak for about an hour but I'm thinking the salt water has an adverse effect on the adhesive. I may try something different to seal these up and will use it on the underside and topside of the gravel guard. Highly disappointed with the workmanship of these waders and what makes it even more frustrating is that I really liked them and they're very comfortable.
