I've got a substantial gut (salmon use me as a resting area) and I want to know how big 'stout' waders are. I've been using Hodgemans for years and I just get XXL and cuff over the legs at the ankles (I'm 5'8" and 255 lbs). I just ordered some boot-footed 5 mils from Cabela's for an Alaska trip in a few weeks and of course I got the 'stout' model. If anybody wears these let me know how they are so I know what to expect. If they're too small I may have to patch my old Hodgemans and look like George Constanza with a latex fetish. Any input would be appreciated (with the exception of the "lose some weight, Fat-ass" remarks).
