Anyone used/using Dan Bailey lightweight breathable waders? Any comment about it?
-
I've got a pair of Dan Bailey breathables... not sure what model they are, but they've been great for me. No issues (thus far, knock on wood) with leaking, comfortable, and decent pockets on the chest. Can't offer much more than that unfortunately, as they are my first pair of breathables so I can't compare them to other brands.
Good luck!
:D

I switched DB Lightweights from Simms G3. The G3 fit me great except the ankle/calf which was ALWAYS a struggle when taking off the waders. I got tired of fighting my waders after a day fishing and switched to Bailey`s lightweights but the sizing is different then Simms, the Bailey`s fit good and are VERY EASY to take off but the foot size is a little large on me. That`s ok because my wading boots are sized a little large and the being able to get out of my waders at the end of the day without struggling is so worth it.
As for durability...I`ll let you know in a year or two after they put on some hard KM`s
