Gulf Coast Waders

[TH36]

Anybody know if they went out of business? I can’t get their site to open.

We use their waders a lot. I just checked their FB and everything seemed old. I also couldn't get their web page to open.

I bought a set of their stocking foot for wade fishing. I’ve now hunted in them twice (once when it was 10 degrees out) and froze my feet off. Was gunna get another set of boot foot waders and I think they started making a set of boot foot. Guess they are no mo though.

If you want a warranty with your waders, stick with big names. Little guys can't compete with the big dogs. If you're trying to stay reasonably cheap, buy Roger's brand on sale.

You might look at High N Dry waders. Been happy with mine.

Bought some Roger’s last night. I’ve got a trip coming up in December and didn’t wanna take a chance that it’ll be cold AF out and freeze my feet in the stocking foot again.

Normally buy Cabelas breathables but the Roger’s are built just as good as those I assume and are cheaper.

Speaking of big names, anyone here tried the Duck Camp (they had a big sale) or Chene waders yet? Since it sounds like Sitka has sold out and their warranty is gunna go to shit.

My buddies that wear chene absolutely love them. If Sitka ever stops taking care of business, that's the route I'll probably go. I have another buddy who's using the duck camp waders this season and he's very happy with them. They were half off yesterday, but sizing was slim pickings. My backup waders are lacrosse alpha agility select zip and they've actually been the best pair of lacrosse waders I've owned. Roger's has them on sale all the time.

Kuiu makes waders now too.

Fever talking truth.

Waders from a wader company, beat waders from a clothing company that decided to start making waders.

You REALLY think they have the ability to survive against the big boys and they're not just another gulf coast or usia? Honest question, not trying to be a dick.

Industry grade, not recreational. They've been around for about 8 years, and only recently started doing a few hats and such. Stick to what works, and don't try to scattershoot the market.

If they can resist the offers from Private Equity as they gain market share, which I hope they do, I see no reason why they shouldn't last.

If you have 25 min, this is the most truthful anyone has ever been on what the outdoor industry in general, and the fishing segment in particular, is facing going forward. I've referenced the same things on here in the past. Ben certainly doesn't pull any punches.

Yea my neighbor hit me up about the duck camp waders yesterday but like you, sizing was gunna be a problem and even at half off they were still pricey at the moment.

Honestly, I’m probably going to buy First Lites waders this summer when they drop. I never hoped on the Sitka fan bus but have a ton of first lite layers, 2 jackets, 2 vest, and their rain coat. All quality stuff and in my opinion fits better than Sitka.

thanks for the honest reply, rog.

Thanks for that. Just ordered a pair from them at 40% off.
