How about some recommendations on how to get a patch to stay put on a hip boot. I've had no luck.

Ankle fit? I don't know how anyone gets around in those marsh boots. A blister in the making.

I have blistering/chaffing problems with many rubber boot types. Lacrosse Trapline have not done my feet that way and I am on my third pair in 20 years. Next pair of hippers will be the Big Chief.

Have you tried 3M 5200 on the leak?

Yes the marsh ones have had no issues with blisters or chafe . They were a pain getting on and off . So bought the traplines. Not sure about them yet as my heal like to slide up and down while walking in them . Will see in about a month when I start rat trapping

For you guys that have used Dan's hip boots. Any idea of how they seal the boot of choice to the top fabric section to make leak free? Are they really waterproof if you need to be knee deep or deeper. I know that's the claim.

I'd love to hear this question answered. I have asked several times on here and never got a response.

k snow,
I searched other forums and haven't seen anyone complain about the legging-boot seam. Some people had boot leaks with brand new Lacrosse Burly's. I'm thinking maybe the Quatro offering or Dans' frog boots attached will be a better option. The Quatro is made by Skellerup company. Many good reviews on various forums. Supposedly tough and water proof, made from good rubber.

I take better care of hip boots that I pay a couple of hundred bucks for. They dont get folded and thrown in the back of the truck and they get hung up properly in a cool dark closet for long term storage.

I have some Rogers toughman 4mm neoprene hip waders that I really like. Doesnt look like they're available anymore. They're just the right size on me that they stay up without being clipped to my belt. Nice and warm too.

I just take mine to the local Mom and Pop tire shop. They charge me a buck for a small patch and 2 for a big one.

I have a pair of dans,,, as far as i can tell they stitch them and put a heavy coating of sealant on the waterproof liner to the boot seam. The briar proof chap is attached to the waterproof liner at the top. Basically your boot is attached to a thin light water proof liner and a briarproof chap is attached to the liner to protect it. only had them a few weeks but have been through some nasty briars checking traps and no leaks yet

I'd love to hear this question answered. I have asked several times on here and never got a response.



I'm on my second pair of Dan's hips. Frogger 16" neoprene style #743 boot and the add on chap is model #685. They are rated -20 to 70*. Incredibly comfortable boot. If you get a hole in the uppers you are going to the ER because you'll have a hole in your leg. No leaks unless you snag the rubber boot on something. They do take in some water on the inside seams but I just lift the tops up to get the slack out and they're completely drained by the time I get back to the truck. Water does NOT get inside the boot unless you go in over the top. The tread wears out on mine before they need to be replaced but I wear mine on concrete and frozen ground too much. I got ~400 wears out of the first pair and nearly 300 so far on the 2nd. I bought a new pair of my old favorite Lacrosse Big Chiefs when I bought my first Dan's and they are still in the box (and no I don't want to sell them).

Thanks for the answers guys. Most people that post reviews on line just leave an opinion, not a review. 4 Fur that was good.

Thank you for the reviews guys. It was never clear to me if the chaps were waterproof or highly water resistant. Walking in streams and creeks in 15 degree weather, I don't want wet legs.
