I haven't seen the ones that are that much. I have the ones that go almost elbow high and are made out of that material on the jackets and love them...they were only like $30 I think though.

That's a kit they sell to convert their LST waders into something more transportable. I've considered suggesting an improvement to the waders.......ad some straps on the face of the thighs just above the knees :? ...... So you can grab them with your hands and lift your legs up after you've trudged the first 100 yds in knee-deep water.

Maybe they can just glue some of these gloves above the knees and it'll serve a dual purpose.

This is the only complaint I really have about any Drake product I've used - and I register it, jokingly. Great waders for standing chest-deep in near-freezing water, otherwise.

Have owned 2 pair of their waders, both leaked in crotch. One leaked first hunt out of box. And both had the knee seams bust out and had the red padding showing. Mostly hunt knee deep water and haven't been hard on either pair

I probably have 15 pairs of hunting gloves. I only wear them when I can't put my hands in my pockets. Im just not a glove guy and absolutely not a 80-90 dollar glove guy.

For $90, I could hire a cheeseburger to put out decoys and go hide in the bushes.

This morning on the way in to work I heard a radio advertisement for a 'sale' on those things for $49.99. If that's the sale price, I'd probably pass out if I saw their 'suggested retail price' label at the store.
