Try the Macks All Season. They are huge. Andre the Giant could cut down some birds in 'em.

I have a pair of 5mm LaCross big boy waders in break-up with the adjustable straps on the side, size 13 w/1000 grams of thinsulate. These have been used very little. They were left at my duck camp and I kept them as spares in case a guest needed them. I never happened so I will let them go for $100.00.

My advice would be to go to mack's or cabelas or bass pro and try on several different brands and styles. See which one fits you best. I am 6'1" and weigh around 315. I use the Mack's big ditch stout and love the way they fit. I tried the expandables, but they were waaaay too big for me. I made a trip to mack's (of course we hunt out there, so it's not that far) and that's where I narrowed my decision.
Also, get someone to "measure" your dimensions (chest, waist, inseam, outseam, stomach area, thighs, etc.) and then look at each manufacturer's sizing charts. That should give you a good idea. Hope this helps.

Also, keep in mind I don't know about you but I am extremely hot natured. That being said, 5mm neoprene is quite toasty even on really cold days! I like the big ditch because it is 3.5mm neoprene. Not as bulky, not as heavy, and not as hot! I hunted in 14 degree weather 3 days in a row 2 years ago in Arkansas and never got cold! Again, just my $.02 worth. PM me if I can help you any further.

Call Mackspw and tell them your size and they can recommend which size to get.

I'm 6'5" and wear the Big Ditch Tall waders (which could fit someoen 6'9'' or 10" comfortably), but I'm around 190lbs. You'll need either the tall or stout and all their waders run a little tall.

i would put you in some Lacrosse waders in a king size you need heighth in the inseam..... big mans are for rounder people.... stay away from drakes if you have trunk legs cause it would be spandex....... I sell them for a living just my two cents.....
