Saltamontes Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Hey guys, a while back through a board member of this site I ordered some Scierra waist high waders. I have put them to use regularly over the past while and I love them, they fit nicely and keep me dry, they are tough and also look pretty good. I have worn them probably 20 times by now and I am very pleased with them. Yesterday however I waded a bit deeper than the usual, just below the waist and noticed the pockets filled up with water. At first I thought the zipper might not have been fully zipped and figured I would try them again before panicking. Today I headed out again and made sure the zippers were fully zipped (closed) before I went in the water, sure thing, when I came out of the water both pockets had each about a cup of water in them. Please don't get me wrong, I still like the waders and I'm thinking of somehow sealing the pockets permanently to keep the water from filling up with water. I just seems kind of a waste to have pockets if they are not water tight. Yesterday I had put a pack of smokes in the pockets, needles to say, no smoking for me when I came out of the water. Today I played it safe and kept them in my vest. Has anyone else experienced similar issues with these Scierra waders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude1125 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Yes......I just bought a pair of CC4. I got hit by a few waves. I went back to the catalogue and it says they are water resistant not proof. My camera got wet and does not work now. C'est la vie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandi Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I bought mine couple of months ago and noticed during the last two outings that my fishing licence is wet. As I managed to unfold and dry it, there was no harm done. My phone managed to survive these events and now I am more careful what to put there (quite useless). Maybe I could keep fish in this pocket... Otherwise, I am really happy about the wader, as it fits me well and seem to be durable (time will tell).

bhurt Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Hmmmmmmm, intresting, I personally own two pairs of the cc4, the old design and the new design. My old design the pockets were 100% water proof, infact I put my wallet in the pocket all the time to make sure I do not lose them. I have yet to waer my new pair, as my old ones are still working like a charm, I have noticed a few changes in designs with the new ones vs the old ones. For example, the gravel gard this time around is only ankle high, which is a good thing cause with my old ones they went up to my quads and filled with water, no biggie just pull up on the leg and they drain. I do like the high gravel guard as it save my waders alot of time from barb wire fences. I am wondering if this is a bad batch of waders, I would call seriia and see what they have to say, I will test out mine with the garden hose tonight and see if any water gets into the inside of the pocket.
