I just got fitted from USIA at there manufacturing center in St Helens, Oregon. For the Promo on the other site, And they are awsome, American made and never leak, unless you run a stick through them or something, And then he can fix them. Pick your boots and colors, Same as the military special forces use for there drysuits... Takes a few weeks to get them. But it will be worth the wait. And 149.00 on promo right now. Go look on ifish for the promo.......... Matt

Yes it is, Kim said the waders are the same as the dry suits without zippers, valvues ect. from the arm pits down identical. How do you like the dry suits... 149.00 for the waders with the promo code is a great deal.

Taking three weeks as of my order yesterday, Promo goes until the end of Dec. Just folow the link Slab Happy put up for IFISH post( web-site USIA.com). He has some awsome waterproof back packs he was also showing us, And i had just seen on his site the full body hunting suit, I will look at this when I take the wife and daughter down for a fitting in two weeks, If I like it, My christmas present. If you can find the time go get fitted. Or he has sizing on his website. He just posted that if in time you wear out the boots, You can buy new boots and he will put them on for 25 bucks, It only takes afew min to do. He expects the waders to last many many years. And will not leak at any seams ever, He tells you this in his tour....Buy American

What's the website name?

If they are drysuit material, then these presumably are not breathable waders. Is that correct?

USIA.com But if you have ever walked long walks in your breathable waders, you still sweat, And are damp when you take them off. They are made from a dry suit material. Not breathable. But dry, And not smothering like neoprene. I have worn dry suits and had no problems. Worth the money to give them a shot.

Outdoor GPS on Comcast Sportsnet TV is supposed to have the company owner on an upcoming show soon. They interviewed him on the phone last week. Waders sound like they may be worth a look. Company is out of St. Helens, OR apparently.

Matt,

I love their dry suits! It has lasted me 10 years, granted I don't dive a ton anymore, but they went through a few years of fairly heavy use. The material is easy to move around in, and as far as the part about them not being breathable... I used a wicking undergarment and it was great, warm and dry!

Captain Kujo has been a long time contributor on the Ifish boards. He is big time into TUNA!. His dry suits have been around a long time, I can remember going in for a fitting back in 2000. They took care of us and the dry suit was high quality. I haven't used his waders, but interestingly, someone mentioned them to me the other day as possible replacements for my current leaky pair.
