just got them this season, and so far am loving them......the prices is pretty good too.

I've got the cabelas warrior 2 waders and they're awesome

I had these cabellas waders for 5 years before the boots finally dry rotted out. We hunt in soft marsh and you have to wear chest waders for every hunt. Just replaced them with the exact same pair a couple weeks ago. I highly recomend them

^^^order a size down from what you normally wear in shoes^^^

I like my drake waders, but I hate the shoulder straps on them... Absolutely hate the shoulder straps!!!

I love my drake waders. great features. just a little short on the sides. I wont ever have a different pair.

What pair do you have white boy?

Word on the street is... The MST have leaking problems right out of the box.

EST is way too expensive when I can go out and buy Alphaswampfox that will last me 3 seasons for half the price.

LST are just too damned thick/bulky

I have the swamp foxes, they r very comfortable and have a helluva ankle fitment

Always order a size smaller in waders. Put plastic grocery bags on your feet and they will slide in like a loose va.....you get the point

Ive got the mst..... no leaks first year... fixed a small leak in the seam of the right boot half way through this season. I have now developed a weeping seem at the left knee........I walk alot in these waders, down levees and through marsh grass and muck. The boot tightners on the waders work great. I have never pulled my foot out of boot while walking through the sticky stuff. They are very rugged with the addition of the cordura on the legs and seat. I agree the sides are low, got some water in at dam b last weekend. My fault but 2 more inches and I wouldnt have been wet. I think the low sides are to accomadate the built in fleece hand warmer. Overall I have been pleased with the product and the fit is the best I have worn ( because of boot system, I have narrow feet)........... however.......I usually wear my breathable hodgeman waders with the lace up boot unless I will be in the water or the temps have dropped to the low 40's......so I only wear the drakes for about half the season.

I always worn Lacrosse Alpha Swampfox... Very durable. Almost got 3 seasons without a leak.

if it has the name drake it's over priced junk IMO

The quality of their clothes really has gone downhill the last couple years.

Forked over the money last year for EST. Made 2.5 hunts before the shoulder strap ripped off while in the bayou.

I will say Drake did give me my money back as I didn't want a second pair. Bought the alphas and didn't look back.

I like the features and cordora that drake has if they could only get the chinese to improve their QAQC.

Lacross brush tuff, nuff said.

I am on my 3rd pair of Drake LST and the only reason I had more than one pair is they keep giving me free waders. I wouldnt recommend them to anyone who actually hunts. The knee patches come off and they leak in the ass. I still use my 4 year old cabelas if im standing in water over knee deep.

Have a pair of cabelas dry plus wafers for early season a pair of their ultimate waders for mid season and a pair of their supermags for late season, all awesome! Reasonably priced as well

I have one of the first pairs they made. Not a problem after 3 years, buddies have bought them and they have all leaked like a rusty pail. When these wear out back to Lacrosse boots.

Saw 5 pair for sale over in DHC classifieds for 250 shipped

I saw a guy at the ramp that wore trash bags on his legs/feet to keep dry in them.

He say they junk an shit.

Crews Im sure they would sell you an iron on Drake logo so you can just put it on your Academy wadders. You could still be kool, from a distance anyway...........

love mine, but i bought mine so i could look cool at the boat ramp....by far the most comfortable set ive owned, warm and the boot tighteners work good. so far i would buy another set of em but im only at the end of the second season with em.

I love mine. Im on my third season in them, and developed a small leak in the crotch, and the knee patch tore on one side. Besides that I havent had a complaint

I'm on a season and half with my LST. Small seeping leak on the knees but put some aqua seal on it and overall I like them.

Don't have to wear several layers with the fleece lining.

Apparently, the older production runs are a lot better than the new ones!

saw a pair the other day only went waist high, looked pretty good, kinda in between hip boots and chest waders.
