    Great Purchase!

    Ordered on Friday and had them at the doorstep on Monday. Initial try on fit great and had nothing but shorts and T-shirt on and I started sweating. Excited to get them out in the rough and cold!

    New to old

    I had the original style and had good luck with them. I like that you change the suspenders

    and the magnetic pockets. But prefer the old boot style. I have not worn them in the field for real test yet . My son has the lighter1200 gram version and he not had good luck. He on 3rd pair because of leaks. My old pair lasted for along time before any issues. So I'm a wait and see kind of person. I have 3 of the pull overs and 1 coat and have been happy with them all
