- Finally got my hands on a pair of Sitka waders! Join the unboxing and first look and see how they fit. Finding a pair to try on here in central Indiana was super tough, but I think I got it figured out.

Awesome gear!
Yea it is! Excited to put it in the water!!
Ok, so, my finger is on the trigger for these waders, I’m just slightly hesitant on the sizing. This video was super helpful, but I’m still on the fence lol!
So, I’m 6.1, 195, 10.5 shoe, 34 waist, 44 chest, 33-34 inseam, and wear all large in Sitka.
Leaning toward the Large Tall, BUT, when I see the XLT on you, giving more room for one more late season layer!
I’m up in Ontario Canada, love hunting cold temps, breaking thru ice!
Cheers!
Thanks Rob! A wise friend of mine mentioned in conversation one day ‘the odds of you getting smaller as time goes on is very slim’. Not fun to hear but words of truth. Buying a bit bigger is not a bad thing! Especially with a large purchase like this that you want to last as long as possible. Our sizes are spot on identical, outside of the waist.. With your inseam & chest I would go with the XLT. May be a bit of extra fabric around your middle but the chest & crotch will be way more comfortable. Especially when you kneel down & add a layer or 2. Definitely swappable if size doesn’t quite fit right and no shops around you have them in stock but I’ve heard shipping is nuts over the boarder.. keep me posted!
So, you’re saying there’s a slim chance I’ll stay slim?! LOL
As far as the boot, I’m a 10.5, you mentioned they fit a half size larger, now my dilemma is boot size lol.
Also, do you mostly wear Large tops?
Luckily my dad lives in Alabama, so I ship to him!
Ha! Maintaining is easier than loosing. Unfortunately I’m in the wanting to loose category.. Your boot size is tricky, I ordered my boot size. My old waders were a size too big and walking any sort of distance was uncomfortable with my feet slipping around inside. I guess it’s a toss up for you on wether you want more comfortable hiking or more room for insulation.
@@FromFieldtoTable ok! Hey, thanks for taking the time to answer my questions, time to pull the trigger!
Have a great hunting season, cheers!
@@FromFieldtoTable one more quick question. That gradient hoody a Large or XL?
🤩🤩…jus got mines n im jus like u with ut excitement
so good!
Yea I watched this video thanks man cause not a lot of videos like this on the actual fitment I got size 10 XL for Christmas and they swallow me I want to get the 10 lg I am 5 10 205 I am super frustrated because can’t try on a large I was wondering if the large was cut smaller say from the knees up the length is perfect just crazy big in the quads butt and stomach area I ran them with gradient pant and duck oven that took up alot of the slack but would like to try the large I am in same boat just wanna try them on I wear sitka large pants and xl in tops
That’s a killer gift!! Waders are tough.. personally mine ended up a touch on the baggy side, allowing me room to grow and layer a bunch. I’m not going to be doing a ton of running around in them so don’t mind the extra fabric. Especially if I’m going to bulk up at some point and run out of space and make them too tight. The large will absolutely take away some of that bulk, but will it be too firm fitting is only something you will know. It’s not ideal but you can’t find a store to try them on, you can buy the L and return the one you don’t want. Sitka is awesome on returns, you are just out the shipping, which isn’t fun on a set of waders but the peace of mind in size is worth it to me. Good luck!!
What size street shoe (i.e. in Nike) do you wear and what size wader boot did you get?
Hey Maxwell, I’m typically in 11’s and I bought 11 wader boots. Sitka said the boots run 1/2 size large and the length feels great! I do have wider feet and the width is a pinch tight but Sitka said they would relax a bit with use. I tried on some 12’s and the play heel to toe just felt too much. My current neoprene‘s are a bit too big heel to toe and would prefer not to deal with that any longer. I don’t think the tiny bit of width the 12s gave me were worth the hiking comfort of good length.
@@FromFieldtoTable this is super helpful, thank ya sir! Keep up the videos, these are great
I’m looking to buy some of these waders I am 5’9” size 11 shoe and around 215-220lbs in ur opinion would you go with a XL 11? I just don’t want to to get a L and bundle up and be too tight.
How often do you bundle up? Sounds like you are right on the line between L & XL. Going L would be a bit tight if you bundle a lot (you can always bundle outside the waders if you don’t mind taking off layers to walk out) but may be a bit more comfy without the extra fabric. Personally I would go with the XL. A wise man once told me the chances of us getting thinner is slim. 😅😭 Planning for the long haul and don’t want to start exercising just to fit some clothing. Also I’ve found the extra fabric from a larger size not that big of an inconvenience. Let me know where you end up!
Thank well I usually bundle up always being here in colorado hunting in the snow a lot and sometimes hunting in water the whole time but I usually wear a hoodie and vest so not so sure how snug wit would be with a L
I’m 5,11 170 what should I go m or L
What camo hat is that and where did you get it??
It’s from Smoking Goose / Goose the Market, a local meat shop in Indianapolis. Dynamite charcuterie products, if you are around it’s an absolute must!
Hey man, so I’m dealing with a very similar dilemma. I have a full season on a pair of regular large and I definitely feel you on how they get real snug from the inseam to the knees when squatting or even sitting in the boat. I need to get into a tall this year but I also have a large currently. It’s a snugger fit which I don’t mind, I hate baggy materials especially when shouldering a gun. My question is about the XL compared the L upper. Is it a dramatic difference? I currently will use 2 layers or so under and have my heavier duck oven/delta jacket if need be over the waders. It would be nice to be comfortable in full layers under but I don’t want them to be too bulky or baggy and am hesitant to go up to an XL. I should try to go try some on, but hard to find them locally. Anyhow, what’s your take on the L to XL difference. I’m 6’2” 36” waist and roughly 235 at the moment just for a reference.
Hey Jeremy, we are basically identical in size. The XL is definitely baggier but doesn’t feel too baggy in my opinion. If you plan to throw on a hoodie under the wader it will fill out nicely and comfortably. The belt helps a lot with the extra fabric if you are not layering up. I feel like the chest difference in L to XL on the Hudson bib was more drastic, so if you have some of those around you to try on it may give you an idea.
@@FromFieldtoTable thanks for the input!
I’m 6’3 205 size 36 waist 36 length I have the LT and I layer pretty good can get tight sitting down fully layered but afraid the xlt would swallow me withought layer’s I’m in Texas so no need for drastic cold layering
@@ESHARDY08 so I ended up going with the XLT and I’m happy with them. I got about 20 or so lbs on you and I mainly went that route due to layering. In Wisconsin here we typically see single digits to wrap up our season and with the L in the past I couldn’t layer a ton and be comfortable without feeling very restricted and couldn’t sit without feeling like my wader legs were about to burst at the seems so I also went with the talls so I got the extra room to sit. Definitely got room to work with early season but I don’t feel like I’m drowning in them by any means. My only regret it think is not going with the timber pattern for when we go down south but maybe I’ll swap them if it comes to it down the road.
@@ESHARDY08 Thats a tough call.. Until you feel comfortable purchasing a smaller pair for early season and a larger pair for late season bundling I would say rock the size the suits the temps you hunt in the most. I would personally prefer a bit baggier in the early season for full range of motion/comfort in late with the layers. The size difference (if memory serves) between LT & XLT is drastic, but not as bad as the size difference in the Hudson bibs. With the belt and the suspenders you are able to tuck some of the extra fabric in your back pretty easily.
Is there an interior zip pocket
Not inside unfortunately. I've not missed it, however my phone is waterproof so also not an issue.. keep wallet & keys in a waterproof yeti bag attached to my field bag.
How tall are you? Just for comparison in the Tall size you got
I’m 6’2”, but the critical size is your inseam. Mine is 34”. The regular was a bit too tight in the crotch when squatting down, but the tall is great. I’ve found Sitka’s size guide to be pretty accurate!
Not happy with the way Sitka is handling the returns for these waders. I tried on a pair and found the boots to be way too big. I thought maybe it could work and walked around my office for a while only to realize that no, if I am paying this much for waders they need to be close to perfect. The fit and finish was perfect, love the waders themselves, but without any local outlet I was forced to pay 80 bucks to return these things. I am hesitant to pull the trigger on the right size now since I didn't feel like they are being helpful
Is the $80 a restocking fee or just to ship? The shipping fee to send them back does sting a little bit if you aren't able to try one one in person at a shop. No one had them when I ordered my first pair so I guessed and you saw the results.. With that kind of purchase its worth it in my opinion. They didn't ask any questions when I sent them back and didn't charge me anything to swap them for another pair.
@@FromFieldtoTable Just shipping, they didn't have a restocking fee. Talked to them to see if I could just pay them for the shipping label, no. Then I tried to see if they could send me the size I wanted once they receive and check out my last pair and the answer was no. I just felt like it was so impersonal, and I am in customer service so I might have higher standards, but I wasn't asking for any special treatment necessarily.
