Hell of a deal going on if you need a pair. I really like the hybrids where the top isn't neoprene. These are reinforced in the right areas too.

I haven't tried that type, but I'm broke and went with gw full neoprene ones a few years ago. Holding up great so far

Figures... just bought a pair to replace my leaking ones three weeks ago and they were 139.99.

The lightweight ones are all I have ever duck hunted in down here and are perfect for Teal - Big Duck season. Just add some base layers when it's really cold, which is like 3 hunts a year.

Thanks! I needed a pair anyway. I've used these before, and they are good for the money.

Didn't even really need a new pair, but had to buy at that price.

Great price but I am wary of any of Academy's "Game Winner" brand. Seems like all the Game Winner branded items are crap

I agree with your sentiment. Generally, that's been my experience with GW products too. However, these look well built and the reviews are very good. My BIL bought a pair last year that he really likes and hasn't had any issues with. Hell, for $60-70, if they last 3 seasons, then you've got your money's worth.

I'm going duck hunting in a few weeks for the first time in sea drift. Which one of these should I buy? Are they one size fits all? I'm 6 foot 240 Looks like they have a built in shoe? FIL was telling me about a type that you wear an old pair of tennis shoes?

Also need something for my 9 year old. Any suggestions?

TIA!

I borrowed a pair of the breathable treadlites during the preseason when it was pretty hot. They seemed to be more durable than the other pairs of GW that I used in the past.

I might grab a pair of them at this price because I find neoprene to be hot, and the breathable have enough room if I wanted to layer with a pair of sweats I could.

THE lightweight breathable ones aren't neoprene
