Well its time to order another pair. Trouble im having is finding ones to fit over large thighs. Ones I was using only came halfway up.
Any ideas out there? Don't need expensive ones. And they certainly don't need to be insulated.
Any help would appreciated.

The lacrosse big chief is the best I've found. I still have issues because the calves are tight

It's not because of over weight issues. I've always had large muscular legs. Probably from kicking so much $ss in the 90's

Like you. Not from being heavy. Lettered in weightlifting in h.s and then lifted weights in the Army. Plus being in the Infantry and running and carrying sometimes up 140 pounds of gear doesnt contribute to small thighs.

Need to define expensive, many of the hip waders like Dan's boots will custom build a wader for people with sizes that are different than "normal". I'm on my third season with a pair of Dan's and they're still not leaking. You measure your thigh and specify which boot you want used and they custom build them.
