Sunfire Waders Feedback???

Looking for some feedback on the new Sunfire waders?

I have a pair with badlands chap. Seem to be very well made. I've been wading in water for hrs and never leaked a bit. They are very comfortable and the tread gives you good traction. The one negative thing I've found with them is the claim of being warm to -20 and cool to 70 is by far the truth.

Great boot and chap!

Very durable and feels like a tennis shoe! Can't beat them!

If you have thick and wide feet stay away from them

That is very odd .....I have thick,big and wide feet,and they are the only boot for me.

Ive had mine for a few months got them right before coon season ended and they kept me dry when I broke through the creeks around here. I run beagles also though and have worn them everytime out. I really like them. I got them with the badlands chap and they have way more durability and briar protection than a lot of the other stuff that I have used recently. The boots are real light and comfortable only thing I didnt like initially is when wearing them in temps below freezing they were cold real cold however that was just wearing one pair of socks. The gentleman I got them from asked me if I wanted the bama socks and I declined I dont know if that would help. The plus side is that the weather if finally breaking around here so I wont have to worry about the sub freezing temps for a while. The total chap and boot weight to me feels lighter than when I used to wear burlys with chaps or bibs. Ill repost in a few months and give my overall opinion.

How hard are they to pull off. I ask this because I had knee surgery about 7 months ago and a snug boot such as the mucks I currently own are a little hard to pull off my bad leg without it hurting like the dickens, lol.

If you guys are all talking about Bekina boots then yep...I also found this to be true. They do make them in wide sizes so if you have wide feet or regular shoes are kinda tight on your feet then you definitely want wide Bekina boots. They run a little narrow in the regular sizes.
Other than this they are fantastic. I still haven't figured out how they are single layer polyurethane and keep your feet warn in the cold. Maybe not Wisconsin cold but definitely Maryland or Virginia cold.
