Lemme give another shout out to my Drake Guardian Elite 4 in 1 waders. Without question, the most miserable forking waders I have ever worn, but I can't make them leak or tear them up after 3 seasons. I start hating them when I wake up and know I have to wear them. When I'm done I throw them in the corner and throw chit on top of them because they suck that bad.....but I can't believe I can't kill those forkers and make them leak. :tu

My old Drakes without the removable liner made it through year 4. The stitching seperated around the knee panel, but I took my time with shoe goo and it's holding fine. Baggy, yes, but no leaks. Best I've owned.
My buddy has smaller feet and just bought a set of women's (different manufacturer) at a huge discount. He loves the fit. Can't tell the difference.

Franchi Infinity 20 gauge.....love it.
Famous Jane restle decoys....they hold dirt, but the weight and size are nice. I'll have a few more.

Glad yours are holding up. Mine didn’t make it 1/2 the season, and you’re right. Heavy as heck and I hated them too
