After reading that most seemed happy with these for the
money I purchased a pair in May. The pair pictured on the bin are the 3rd
pair since May under warranty. My ex used to say, if you buy cheap you buy
twice. Of course she was correct in this case anyway. My last pair were Bass
Pro cheapos and lasted two years. The first pair of Bison’s lasted about a
month before they started to leak around the seams on the crotch and right leg.
The second pair leaked on the seam on the right and left leg around the knee
area after about 4 trips. The third pair leaked 20 minutes into the first
session, only a small leak but got worse again on the seam below the knee on
both legs.
You don’t get much for £75 but thought I might have got
May-Sept out of one pair. The fit I got was generous to accommodate layers and
movement. It’s been pointed out to me that there just not articulated enough around
key areas and I have to agree. According to the supplier I’m the only one with
this issue….
So, if you stand like a Heron next to a stream once or twice
a month these might be for you. If you’re an active angler I wouldn’t bother,
not in my experience anyway. I can’t be bothered with discussion postage or diesel
so a new pair from Scierra ordered today.I hope i have better luck with them.

Hi Martin, if you send them to diver dave he will patch them up for 45 bucks. Complete seam repair, it,s usually the seams that go first, i'll be sending him my scierras at the end of the season. Col
Hi Col, yes might have done that if I'd weighed in with Simms or Patagonias. I dont normally buy cheap gear but baulk at the thought of spending a lot of money on waders when it seems to be a total lottery with almost any brand. Sort of look at them as one season purchase. The salt waters harsh on everything. I like my Scierra boots( 2nd pair, first pair broke down on 3rd trip) but even with a shower after nearly ever trip I will be lucky if they dont rot over the winter...another one season purchase. I dont mind so much with them as they take more abuse then anything.
