Sitka Delta Zip Wader (1ST YEAR REVIEW)

[@TheMVMShow]

🦆🦆🦆

[@HunterLo25]

my first pair of waders was from Academy and they lasted about 4 years before it started leaking. The last two seasons, I've gone through 3 sets of TideWe waders. Just bought the Sikta waders so hopefully, I no longer have to deal with leaks. It's a pain when you are out in the field and freezing water starts to leak in. Thanks for the thorough review!

[@trevoroconnor3518]

What model of waders from tidewe did you go through?

[@halfminuteright6184]

I have a pair of the Sitka waders with out the zipper, last season I stepped out of boat right on a willow stick that had been chewed off at water level by beaver, it went right through the neoprene about the boot. I was able to patch it with neoprene patch and hunted the rest of the season with no issues. I called and talked to Sitka customer service and told them what happen and did not mind paying to get them repaired, they told me to send them in and they would email me what cost to repair. I got waders back 20 days from the day I mailed them they replaced the boot on that leg and didn’t charge me anything for repair also sent a free hat back in the box. The customer service at Sitka was top notch.

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Wow! Glad to hear this.

[@halfminuteright6184]

I hope, no one ever knocks a hole in their waders but if you do Sitka will take care of it and they do it in a hurry.

[@coldfridayduckcamp2457]

Had my ear buds in - got me with the fly/wasp sound. I believe I swatted around my head for about 2 seconds. Love the channel bro - keep it up

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

😂🤣😂 thanks man

[@timbenson279]

I was just on a fishing charter a week ago out of San Diego and the boat Captain and crew were also duck hunters. We had a lengthy conversation about these waders while slaying fish from the bow! Great video!!!!

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Thanks Tim

4:25 😂. Great video with some good information, keep on posting through the off-season with more videos like this.

[@kmrandazzo]

Love my DZWs! Sitka does stand behind their product. I hunted around 35 times this year with them. That was my second season and I’m incredibly hard on my gear. Great review and great product!

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Good to hear! Thanks

[@FowlAssassinsOutdoors]

Awesome review! I threw my $400 dollar waders in the garbage can after less than 2 seasons because they completely started leaking anywhere and everywhere. As of right now, im 99.5% sure that Im going with the Sitka waders next season, Im just not sure if I want the zippered ones or not, thankfully this video answered alot of my questions Ive had. The "Ive had my waders for 50 years" was way too funny. Great video Titus

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Thanks Johnny. Another thing about the zipper I failed to mention is you can leave suspenders on, unzip waders and dump heat on those early season hot days

[@REDHAWK7BRIGADE]

I don’t know you man, but if you’re going to spend the money get the $100 zipper... worth it

[@samwilkes5427]

Fowl Assassins have you got the waders yet? Waiting to get them in my size.

[@morganyoder4277]

Hey Titus, with the shell in the pocket thing for your waders, I recommend wearing your delta wading jacket over top of your waders and then using your shell pockets on that.

[@BLASTER-vb5wu]

Appreciate the review. Was anxious to see how they worked out for ya. Congrats on your great season. NM support as always.

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Thanks brotha!

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Thanks brotha!

[@REDHAWK7BRIGADE]

Great Review. I have these waders. Zipper and boots are game changer. 4 years ago I spent $250 on Columbia waders because of holes and general wear and tear plus who likes neoprene... 2 years ago I spent $300 on drake breathable waders. Lasted a season and a half started leaking. So I’d have to drop another $300...That’s $900 ish in 4 years. It will just keep going on and on every year. Yes Price is steep but they are WORTH every penny. They aren’t bulletproof but they can be fixed. One season down and I can’t wait to keep testing them season after season. Sitka has revolutionized waterfowl gear. No other company does what they do

[@Noneed3130]

I bought these waders this year and been on 30 hunts already and love them. I didnt see a barb wire stran and heard it hit the waders and about shit myself looked at the waders and nothing at all i was relieved anyother waders would have been a massive gash. Living in Montana i gotta rep sitka plus the layering in later season is amazing with these waders unlike most waders.

[@ksoutdoorsports]

I've been looking forward to this review. Great explanation of likes and dislikes. Great season man.

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Thanks appreciate

[@TravisKemFishing]

My Rogers waders just got their first hole, a tear right on a seam from walking into places. It's small and I can patch it for now, gonna try to get one more season out of them, this was year #2, then these Sitkas are going to be my next wader. I love the elite 2 in 1s from Rogers but the repairability and performance from sitka seems worth every bit of it. I got the bug and have no intention of stopping hunting soon.

[@jdkOutdoors]

Great review, Titus. Waders! Sheesh! Struggled for 4 decades with em! When I started hunting as a kid we had the old rubber ones that were like wearing a tractor tire inter tube 😆 After blowing through 2 pair a year in the last 6 or 7 years I’m sold on your idea. It’s the old cliche...you get what you pay for. I’m currently in Frogg Toggs Grand Refuge Migration Series breathables. Third season, no leaks, no problems, so far so good, but I’ll be saving my nickels for a pair of Sitkas when they blow out.

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Yup I hope those Frogg Toggs last you forever but if they don’t hopefully this vid will help

[@joeg6080]

I got the Frogg Toggs grand refuge with the removable liner. I hunt here in central and south Texas and they were great! Did I mention I ordered stout, very comfortable and versatile. Don't get me wrong, I would buy some Sitkas if I knew and without a doubt would fit like the Frogg Toggs. Just my thoughts, God bless and keep up the great content!!!

[@samwilkes5427]

Gunna try and get a pair of these before the 20-21 season. Right now seems everyone is out. Hoping Sitka puts out some new pairs before the season.

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

I talked to Sitka Friday, they are going to be fully stocked with waders again in July. Did you check Rogers?

[@shaylink]

Are you still going to do updated reviews of the delta wader? I’m in my second year in mine and would like to see your experience for year 2 and 3. And have you sent them in for service?

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

No will not be doing anymore updates. If you want to hear my experience with their warranty you can listen here: open.spotify.com/episode/6CL3khQkXAfo7VeXZxCi4K?si=5nSQmIE7TEKimpQuzQtqLg

[@joshuaplaziak2212]

What size waders did you get? If you own the Hudson bibs, what size do you wear in those? Are they size similar ?

[@morganyoder4277]

I'm so glad you made this video. I'm thinking about getting a pair, also I appreciate that you're going to do yearly checkup on them.

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

👍🏼👍🏼

[@DSonneborn]

I think I’m going to invest in these the next waders I buy. My first pair of waders I got as a hand-me-down when I was 15 and I wore them until they leaked when I was 25. I now gotta get new waders probably every other season. My issue with the sizing is I’m only five foot 3, and they don’t make a short and squat size, my shoe size and height I almost need to be at wrestling weight to fit in. I’m interested in seeing when you do have an issue if they are going to honor the last pair you’ll ever buy warranty.

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

NorCal Hunter I’m curious too. What size shoe do you wear?

[@DSonneborn]

Mid Valley Mercenaries - regular shoes 81/2 -9. Most waders are in full size so I always get an 8 so that they fit tight. Can feel a little crampy, but it’s worth it when your in sticky mud so that your foot doesn’t pull out of the boot. I’ve been fortunate that the neoprene part of the waders have always lasted. It’s the boot itself that always compromised for me.

[@augustuslaws6008]

Been using mine going on 3 seasons and had no issues they are worth the money. Great video guys!

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

You are one of a few that convinced me to get them

[@augustuslaws6008]

[@murrdawgsmurray1256]

can you do a review on decoy carts? I've seen some, but was hoping you had some experience in them. love your videos, really like you no holds barred on your reviews of gear. Thanks, God Bless.

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

I don’t have enough carts to really do that. You can get a deer cart off Amazon. It just depends on how big of a sled you want

[@jordanford6006]

Love this video! I gave always just bought two cheap $75 dollar pair of waders and alternate which one I’m patching and which ones I’m hunting with. Have always wanted to invest in some nicer waders whether it’s breathable ones or ones like the sitka ones. Glad to see your money didn’t go to waste either!

[@taggartjenkins7590]

Lacrosse does fine by me. But Simms waders are really good there is a reason Sitka uses them and lacrosse. Its a nice blend of the comfort of really nice fly fishing waders and really nice waterfowl boots.

[@roblacitinola866]

As expensive as they are, I see why it might be wise to try to make the purchase... You make a good point, other than the shotgun, they are the next most important item, except maybe my dog! Great review, thanx man for taking the time!!

Quiet yes, for warmth they’re not insulted so if it’s that cold you have to wear layers underneath

[@ryanayers9341]

Way better in my opinion

[@2wheeltommy996]

OK, after buying 2 pairs (of other brands) in the past 8 months, and sending both back for warranty replacement...I wish I would have just bought these. My mind is slowly being changed on spending the money.

[@codybellimer3867]

Why is there no size medium in 11 size boot? Im 5' 10" 154 lbs and im swimming in the L size 11 boot. Can we get a medium?

[@EvanRiley-e5e]

What’s your weight ? Not trying to be nosey but I’m between a large or xl I’m 5’10 200

[@phuval22]

I'm 5 10 and about 230 (my biggest). I just sent back my XL-10s and purchased XLS-10s to tryout. Like you, I wear 10s but could use a 9.5 (I guess 9s). I've tried my buddie's L and it fit with a hoodie and 2 thin cold gear layers underneath but I was a bit snug especially when sitting. I'm currently losing weight although, most of us understand how that goes (ups & downs). Should I have just gone to the L-9? Also, in their sizing chart it says the L is the same inseam as the XL, which contradicts what you said as far as it going down with the L size. If I went L and it's truly the same, my thoughts would have been to go with the LS-9. As far as my inseam background, my jeans are 32 inseam but I tried the XL (32-33) today when they came in and the legs seemed a bit long. I am worried about the crotch being too snug with the XLS but need to take some length off the legs. I know this is an older video, but I'd appreciate your thoughts on all points I touched on due to there not being alot of sources on this out there than I'd like, and we seem to have similar builds. Hopefully this will help similar built guys dealing with our "first-world problem" too. Thanks! @MidValleyMercenaries

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

I switched to a XL 10 and it’s perfect for me. I’m 215 5’10”

[@ericbaltierra6869]

Make sure you do a 2 and 3 yr review as well. You'd be able to just make it an update quick burner vid

[@Blue_Collar_Hunter]

My local bass pro doesnt stock these waders but they do stock LaCrosse boots. Is it safe to assume that if I find the right size Lacrosse boots I should fit the waders?

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

If they are the exact same boots but I wouldn’t reference these off just any lacrosse boot.

[@Blue_Collar_Hunter]

@@MidValleyMercenaries ok sounds good I'll do some further research. Thanks for the update on the waders. My banded waders will be going into their 6th season, still going strong. But I'd like to have a new pair on standby for when the inevitable happens.

[@best4noles]

What size are you wearing? Do you recommend going up a size to accommodate underlayers???

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

I’m wearing a 9 Large. I need a 9XL but they don’t make that size. I was fine with layering but I do like my stuff a little more baggie. Issues with having a small foot

[@ericmoriarty1870]

Simms custom with their camo is a much better fit.

[@walkerdogman85]

I wish they made them to fit me but I contacted them and they said they currently don’t and not sure when they will.

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

There is def more sizes they can add to their arsenal

[@heartbroke791]

so should i go down a size please i need help on this

I would try the size you normally wear first

[@ChasingGreen]

Man I've been wanting to try them, just haven't been able to drop the cash yet. Been burnt over and over again with every brand out there. Trying the new drakes with the 2 year warranty, if they fail I'm going to have to cough up the cash.

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

[@ChasingGreen]

@@MidValleyMercenaries I've heard nothing but great reviews so far from every one I know that's used them, so hopefully you made a good investment

[@connorw3323]

I am trying to figure out what size to get for myself. I know you said you are wearing a 9 Large but you would prefer an XL. What is your chest measurement?

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Definitely prefer an XL. If your boot size is 10 or bigger you’ll be good

[@connorw3323]

I wear a 9 and I’m at the top end of a M. So I was trying to gauge whether or not to go L. I don’t want them too bulky since I don’t have to do much layering in the Central Valley.

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Oh a 9 large would be good for you than

[@kyledegroot14]

You can never convince me that paying a grand or more for a shotgun and spending a grand on waders equate in any shape or form sitka is a luxury brand

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Luxury is a refinement of living rather than a necessity. (Webster’s dictionary- I’m not that smart) So we could say ya you don’t need a $1,000 pair of waders but than you buy a $200 pair, but the guy that’s more broke than you says you are luxurious because he can do the same thing with a $100 pair of waders. It’s definitely not luxury it’s better quality. 1 guy buys a new pair every 1-2 years for $200 and spends $1,000 in 5-7 years. Another guy saves for a couple years and buys a $1,000 pair that lasts let’s just say to be conservative for 7 years. What’s the difference? There isn’t any difference. You and I work hard for our money. I spend it on things you wouldn’t and vice versa. Sitka waders are not equal to a shotgun but what I’m saying is I can have the best shotgun in the world but if I don’t have waders where I hunt it’s pointless, I will not be able to hunt. So to me durable waders are the 2nd most important thing next to a shotgun

[@WWEsuperstar17]

[@Slablabfishing2023]

Waders are important no doubt! But the reason they rather hear about the franchi even though it’s more expletive is because the gun is a investment. Those waders are worth shit after you buy them. I wouldn’t pay 200 bucks for a used pair of Sitka waders. But I’d pay good money for a used shotgun. The warrant my on the waders is horseshit, 1. All they do is patch it. ( I can do that with any pair of meanders myself) 2. You have to send them back to them for repair. ( what happens if the hole occurs during middle of season)? Bottom line is, it’s not a good purchase.
