I have always just thrown my waders loose in the back of the truck risking of damaging them. These CUPPED wader bags are fantastic. We just took a trip to ND and i was able to get my heavy waders and a pair of knee boots in the bag. Kept them out of harms way and easier to carry around than floppy waders over your shoulder!! I love the standing pad for switching out of my boots into the waders - very handy and clever. The front pocket is an added bonus - used it to store my leg gaiters and toe warmers!! This is one product that was even better than I expected. Quality is excellent!
