Are Rogers Waders Good? | Toughman 2 in 1 VS Elite 2 in 1

[@mikebennewitz7019]

A buddy let me put my foot in his Elite waders after getting back to the truck two years ago. I ordered mine before leaving the parking area. They're amazing. Just make sure to take care of them regarding storage both during season and off season and they'll last a long time.

[@trevorwhitman7851]

I own the elites they are flat out the best Ive worn and a quick tip if you are worried about the price wait until around Christmas time(if you can) the price goes down I bought mine at Christmas last year for like 295 or something like that

[@williamselfjr.3948]

Currently rocking rustic ridge they have held up good for 2yrs starting the third. Have used cabelas and red head brands have had trouble with both leaking at the crotch and boot seams. Going to try rogers or frogg toggs next time

[@scotchnsoda2252]

Just bought a pair of Toughman's for the season. Haven't got them wet yet. Boots still run about a size big. I wear a size 12 in just about everything. Got the waders in size 11 after a tip from a friend. Fit great.

[@xboxsavage1175]

Any issues?

[@scotchnsoda2252]

@@xboxsavage1175 none. I love 'em. Did a lot of walking in them last season and they stay warm without the insulation. Granted I live in the Sacramento Valley so it doesn't get "cold" and I wear pretty lightweight wader pants too. Overall, very comfortable to walk and shoot in.

Got the Rogers Toughman 2 in 1 breathables and they have been amazing so far

[@xboxsavage1175]

Any updated on how good they are

[@christiankonopka9095]

Great video dude. I remember watching you talking about spitbuds. Damn it’s been awhile

[@base72588]

the upgrade on the boots for the elite was nice, took a couple tries to get the size right big difference from the last version. The removal of the strap clips was a mistake, i thought i would like the new hook style but they are a PITA to get into the tight loops when there is little to no light in the morning. I had to have last years pair replaced under warranty due to the seams coming undone but customer service was top notch. the warranty pair (updated version) has gotten moisture in the area of both boots around the bottom of the legs since day one but are fine everywhere else enough so that i have to flip them inside out to let them dry.

[@mattw.9743]

My Rogers Elite 5mm neoprene waders are the best I have ever owned! If the breathable waders are as good I would highly recommend.

[@matthewshirley4297]

That's awesome, great info....I had to buy mine from Cabela's since I wear a 15/16 size boot....wish Roger's would have that kind of sizes.... love watching the videos....keep up the good work man!!!!

[@wallacewest4445]

You honestly might hit them up and see if they can do it for you they have really good customer service and hook people up all the time when it comes to waders. Would be worth the call or email

[@chbales2618]

I bought a pair of TideWe waders last year I like them but my main complaint on them is I’m a bigger guy who doesn’t have the biggest feet so the waders them self are really snug but the boot part fits great! So definitely think after this season I’m gonna try to get something better

[@xboxsavage1175]

What did you get?

[@colegoodale2807]

Was waiting for a vid on the 2 in 1’s. Thanks

[@justincain6846]

Frogg toggs makes their waders, hence why they are made so well, I have the elite full front zip(I think they no longer carry them) but I love them !

[@rbljackson]

Stupid question on the waders for walk in spots. We have to walk in about a 1/2 to get to our spot and set up. Do you put your waders on when at the truck and walk in with them on in those conditions? Or do you pack them in, and then put them on when you get on location??

[@Drumingguy1]

I have been using Cabela’s SuperMag chest waders for the past 4 years. I really like them and have no complaints. I am contemplating getting a pair of Rodgers breathable waders when mine ware out.

[@Benerman2006]

Do it man. I swore by the Supermags for years and then gave Rogers breathables a shot. I will never go back to neoprene now. Buy them u won’t be disappointed. So much more comfortable and lighter

[@wallacewest4445]

@@Benerman2006 that’s exactly what happened to me. Supermags growing up but my dad bought the elites and wore them out one trip and was sold for life

[@kevinmartin2096]

Thanks man this was an awesome comparison video!

[@bullsprig3324]

Just burned a hole in my waders a couple days ago…. We’ll call it a sleeping accident, was just looking at this brand, great timing!

[@baileyscreekoutdoors703]

So I’m 14 and I’m looking at buying the toughmans but me or my dad who has duck hunted 35+ years have never worn or owned a pair of breathable waders on neoprene I’m 5’8 skinny should I get a regular fit or slim I wear a normal neoprene and it the water they get tight of course but there bulky when I’m not in water what do you thing I should do

[@liamf6138]

Been wearing banded elite series for years now....have had not one issue to date and they've been through swamps, timber, flooded fields, you name it. The price point is a shocker but going through the cheap ones through the years made me make the investment

[@xboxsavage1175]

Any updates?

[@danielr.1344]

They’re great if you don’t hunt a lot. Mine lasted about 2/3 of the season. Very warm and comfy but if you hunt 30+ days a season they won’t last long

[@sethrich5998]

What would you get instead? Seems this is the complaint for literally every wader in existence unless you get a Sitka.

[@wm8822]

They do leak

[@RyanMOutdoors]

I use cabellas backwaters waders. 1600 thinsulate.

[@jakebrooks2566]

I own both styles of waders. The elites are hand down better definitely worth the extra money. The boots on the elite do not come off in thick muck like the standard boot will on the toughmans. Also not trying to dis on Rogers at all because I love them. And spend way too much money there. Frog toggs makes these waders for Rogers. You can buy the frog toggs cheaper I believe and they are pretty much the same thing

[@braden17remington85]

My toughmans ripped after 3 trips, they were comfy and felt good, had to finish the year in them and they had 4 holes at least in each leg after only a few months

[@wallacewest4445]

What were you taking them through tho? I understand them somehow catching a hole at a seam or the boot dry-rotting but if you were taking them through thick stuff and not being careful that would explain a problem

[@braden17remington85]

@@wallacewest4445 I Wade fish the texas coast, wasn’t even duck season yet when they started leaking

[@danielfuller6679]

I've got the tough man waders. Been awesome so far.

[@FAFO_24]

I just ordered them. Do you have any updates?

[@mpt8396]

Do the boots on the elites run true to size, larger, or smaller than usual?

[@OutdoorLimits]

True to size

[@matthewmeier1246]

what are the differences between Husky Regular and Slim and what do you like?

[@OutdoorLimits]

The sizes are for taller or bigger people. Slims are for short skinny guys. Regular is for regular sized people. Husky is for tall or large guys. I've always worn regular. Getting a size that is too small can cause the seams to split or leak. You want breathable waders to be kind of baggy

[@TsHeEjBoI4eVa]

The waders themselves are really nice and comfy. It's the boots that keep ripping on me and i dont even beat em up or walk thru thick stuff like thorns. I got my 1st one and it lasted half the season then i got another one and the boot ripped in a month. I sealed it then it ripped in another part of the boot. Idk anymore about rogers waders but i did just bought another lol. 3rd time's a charm? Hope this one lasts longer. I use the toughman btw.

I don`t use Waders the places that I go it takes my Boat . Don`t know about your area we have Cottonmouth Water Moccasin .

[@TheDecoyDude]

Do the elites have a zip-in-out liner? That’s my favorite part about the tough man. Basically 2 waders in one. What I don’t like about the tough man: no ankle support, baggy fit, large in general, shoulder straps are light duty, and thats about it (a bit pricy but all waders are these days). What I love: comfort, zip in liner, general simplicity, price is better than most breathables, insulation is not too much or little for my climate. After having the zip in liner I don’t think I could go back to not having that feature. It is just so convenient especially when it gets hot or I become active.

[@Shaggyboarder23]

Rogers waders will wear out so quick. Hunted in them about 6 times and they have literally torn from mud rubbing in between the legs.

[@michaelrussell9996]

Tough man are awesome

[@lonnieyancer5735]

Do not buy either. I got the elite last season. Walking out in a corn field and some brush to the pond got a good tare in them. Could not repair. So if your walking in wooded area do not buy.

[@MallardSLYR]

I didn't even watch this video and can tell you I've had 2 pairs of Roger's wader hunting 10+ hunts per season and both pairs have leaked. I wouldn't buy them again.

[@MallardSLYR]

I bought breathable waders for both pairs.

[@OutdoorLimits]

Proper care is the important part. Every pair of waders will eventually leak.

[@TsHeEjBoI4eVa]

Same with mine, we dnt even get ice here and i rarely walk thru thorns or anything that will cut up the boots but 2x now the boots ripped on me

[@MallardSLYR]

Mine leaked first time out. Wasn’t about proper care but poor manufacturing process. 2nd pair lasted 1 season..we take a bit to the blind and no thorns or reason why they should have leaked..sorry man just my opinion.

[@hmongboy9161]

only buy when there on sale lol

yes. they both have the zip out liner. You want breathable waders to be kind of baggy because if you stress the seams they will either fip or leak. Breathable material doesn't have any stretch.
