I'm starting to wish I was 5' 6" with the way waders are designed. And if being 5' 6" would guarantee me catching a bunch of large silvery kings, well I'd take that as well.

So it seems like Dan Bailey's are my best option if I want to keep it under $200 and get some quality waders in the proper foot size with the body not being terribly huge. Feedback here and sizing charts seem to confirm this. Seems like all their offerings are decent quality or better.

As long as they keep me dry and don't break the bank or make me look like a clown, I'll be pretty happy.

Thanks for the useful information. I'm sure it will save me a lot of trouble. Already returned one pair, and would rather not have to do that too many times.
