DELTA Ventlite Zip GORE-TEX® Wader Reviews

I have past experience with

I have past experience with this wader less the newer boots. They are the best quality chest wader available. Unfortunately they are sized best for the taller and more robust. I am 5’6” and 160 lbs. Size M is closest to fit but about 3” of material stays bunched up below the crotch. Unfortunately they don’t make a medium short and only a large short. The medium gives me plenty of additional waist space for layering inside. I considered the large short but would rather have material bunched up in the legs vs feeling like I’m wearing a big bag.

Love this fit of these

Love this fit of these waders. The boots are great.

True to size

They fit great, can’t wait to wear

Amazing waders!

These waders kept me pretty dry when in poured heavy rain and the wind couldn’t cut through like neoprene waders would. The boot fits a lot like a hiking boot or sneaker it probably the most comfortable wader boot I’ve ever owned.

Delta VentLite Zip GTX Waders

Absolutely the best waders you will ever put on. The equivalent of walking in a heavier pair of blue jeans with sneakers.

The material feels thicker and

The material feels thicker and more durable than my older pair. Ready to test them this season in the marsh. Overall seems like a solid well thought out wader.

Weighters

Great waders, good quality

Ventlife

Boots are super light weight and easy to walk in.

Boots were a little tight.

Boots were a little tight. Exchanging for 1 size larger. Exited to use them

Love Them

These waders work great and do a good job keeping me warm. 6’2, 200 XL worked good for me, room to bend and layer if needed.

Perfect wader

These things fit great. Main things I love is you still have full movement and light weight. Only complaint is knee pads are a little stiff take time to break in. Got a size 12 xl

Seems very durable. Few months till I get to see how good the boots really are.

Feels good

Went all out and purchased these as my first zipper waders. It’s weird having waders that actually fit me. Have only worn them around the house so far. Size medium, 5,9 165lbs athletic

Have only wore around the house , but so far they seem to fit well , and are super lightweight, boots are comfortable.

waders review

they are very light. true to size. I will say they are not as warm as my other waders, but no issue putting layers underneath.

WOW!!!!

I have owned 2 competitor brand waders about the same price. These hands down are superior in every way.

Best in the game.

Great wader. Better than the original I have had since 2018. Boots are like hunting in your favorite sneakers. You can literally run in these waders.

Extremely impressed

Very comfortable with hidden features pockets etc. .

Best Wader Ever!!

These are the nicest waders I’ve ever owned. I’d been using Roger’s for the past 8-9 years and the last set of zippered ones had to be replaced twice in a year. The new boots on these are like wearing OC shoes in waders! That comfortable! They fit great, even though I could probably use the extra short, the regulars fit good. I can’t recommend these waders enough. Thank you Sitka for producing such a great wader!

Waders

The boots are fantastic. Much lighter. A little wider. Very easy walking in muck.

Amazing Waders

I’m blown away by the quality of these waders! It’s amazing how durable these are especially considering how lightweight they are. The boots are amazingly comfortable and don’t compress on your toes like some. My last pair of Sitka waders lasted me eight years and counting of almost everyday of the season hunting and guiding. Sitka waders are the toughest most thought out waders on the market!

Best waders ever

Incredible fit, great construction quality and by far the most comfortable boots of any wader I’ve ever owned.

Delta Ventlite Waders

Hands down the most comfortable waders I have ever put on.

Exceeded expectations

They are super lightweight and the breathability is a game changer!

Nice quality

So far its nice wader. . the only thing i don't like much is the knee pad. . maybe im short but the knee pad comes all the way up pass my knees and its a bit too stiff hard for me to walk an bend my knee. Maybe just needs a break in period. . idk

High quality gear

Very solid set of waders. Super comfortable in the boots and light but warm.

Great fit

Great fit and comfortable as always. Awesome quality.

Delta VentLite Zip GTX

I got these in the optifade marsh. These are absolutely great waders. The best feature are the new lite weight boots. Very comfortable for all day hunts in the marsh or in a sink box. Second best feature, they can be layered up or down depending on the weather. I’m waiting on the optifade timber to come back in stock and will be scooping them up!

Lightest and most comfortable waders

I bought these waders at the start of duck season and wore them through the end of goose season. I wore them for 34 days of hunting. I have been wearing waders throughout my 55 years of waterfowl hunting and these without a doubt are the lightest, most comfortable, and most durable waders I have ever worn. In colder weather I wear them with the Sitka Gradient pants and I am completely warm and comfortable. I wear a size 10. 5 shoe and I purchased size 11 which was a perfect fit. I purchased a large size as I am 6 foot and 160 lbs. and customer service had recommended that size for me. The zipper is great and I never need to take the straps off of my shoulder until I take them off at the end of the day. They are expensive but I expect these to last for many years. Just the comfort of wearing them makes them worth the price to me. I only use Sitka gear for my waterfowling hunting and I am very pleased with all of the different items I own. My son also wears all Sitka gear and is very comfortable.

Sitka waders

Wonderful waders. I went up a boot size for width with thick socks. The new boots are so light and comfortable compared to any boots on the market. I’m 5’10” and 225lb athletic. I got the standard fit, the XL were too baggy for me. Chest is 48”

Ventlite zip gtx waders

Lightest waders I’ve ever owned much less felt. There are still warm, can’t go wrong with them.

They fit perfectly and the

They fit perfectly and the boots fit well and they are light!

Delta Ventlife Zip Gtx wader

Can’t believe how much lighter these are compared to the same waders with the neoprene boots. Per the sizing chart the xl should fit nicely but they ran small compared to the xxl. Looking forward to hunting in these when Duck season opens in November!

Absolutely, the lightest weight most

Absolutely, the lightest weight most comfortable wader I have ever used absolutely amazing!!

Surprisingly worth it

For the last pair of waders I ever plan to own, these are actually worth it. Just returned from a trip where these were put through the ringer on numerous snags, beaver cuts, boot pulling deep mud, and long walks to the truck. Hands down THE most comfortable waders I have ever owned. I bought the first pair of breathable waders decades ago and have had countless models ever since. These are lighter, tougher, more breathable, and ridiculously more comfortable. Sitka's product research team came through on these. They are worth it. I look forward to wearing them into the late season this year and many more to come.

The fit is super nice.

The fit is super nice. Love the comfort of the boot. I find that the knee pads are a little too stiff and tend to get in way more.

really light waders!

these have to be the lightest toughest waders on the market. i was surprised to see how the seams were built and how tough these waders are. beautiful strong light boot with great tread. if these hold up as long as my last pair of waders have from Sitka ill be very pleased.

Break in period

Love the Weight compared to the last generation of Sitka waders. Hunted Canada and impoundments in North Carolina 7 days total. Takes a minute to break in the New heavy duty knee pads. Rubbed knees raw just flexing knee sitting in the blind. Overall recommend .

SITKA WADERS

been runnin sitka since 2018 and and best decision i made for hunting . . . these waders fit great . . . coming from rogers 3-in-1 insulated waders that i had to swap out every 2-3 years huntin public land walking in . . . we will see how these sitka's hold up, my buddies have been running these sitka's for the past 4-5 years and they have held up while i've needed 2 new pairs of waders . . . im 5'8" and 155lbs and the M-9 fit well.
