Bought a pair this year after my cabelas sprung a leak. I like the waders but my knee stitching is coming loose as well. I am waiting till after season to call them.

Don't get them. Same problem as others with the knees, right boot and crotch leaks. Heavy as he!! too.

I haven't had any problems with the Drakes I bought last year - 'course I haven't been in crotch-deep water much, either. But I figured if I had a problem with them, Drake would honor the warranty. They are a bit heavier and more confining than other waders I've had in the past, but I knew that when I tried them on - 'can't fault anyone else for that - so far, I'm pleased with the waders. I would get some lighter-weight waders if you do a lot of walk-in hunting, but keep in mind - waders aren't 'brush' pants.

Choosing waders is like anything else - you make the best, informed decision and live with or learn from it. 'Can't please everyone.

Glad I'm not the only one having problems at of Drake's. You would think since they value their products(high prices), they would fix this problem. Putting a seam down the middle of the knee is going to bust no matter what. Maybe they will correct this issue soon.

got tired of paying the expensive prices ordered a pair of 1200gram for 125 came with clip on shell holder nice for the money no leaks yet

it would help if i put where i got them from it was sportsmans guide shipping was very quick as well

I am going to be selling my Drake LST's.

my daughter wears the drake mst. she seems to like them but she hasn't put them to the test like we have. my son and i wear macks big ditch and love them. i do have a question. does anybody know who makes a wader in size 16 or bigger? my son is 14 and wears a size 14 or 15 now. i know i'll have to get him another pair soon but all of them i look at only go to 15.

I just bought a pair from Simmon's Sporting Goods in Bastrop, LA for $150. They are a Simmon's Brand called "Mer Rouge" made by Itasca (what Simmon's employee told me) with 1600 gram insulation in the Mossy Oak Duck Blind camo. Used them twice so far and have been pleased. Chris
