FROGG TOGGS Canyon II Breathable Waterproof Stockingfoot Wader

In this review of the FROGG TOGGS Canyon II Breathable Stockingfoot Chest Wader the bottom line is simple: these waders are aimed at anglers who want a lightweight, fully waterproof layer that breathes and stays comfortable on long days in the water. The reviewer found the 4-ply nylon upper with DRIPORE Gen 2 material and fully taped seams deliver reliable wet-weather protection, while the 4mm double-taped neoprene booties add warmth and a secure footing. Overall, the Canyon II stands out for comfort, functionality, and value for money for most spring and summer fishing outings.

Key Features

• Waterproof construction: The 4-ply nylon upper with DRIPORE Gen 2 material and fully taped seams keep water out while allowing moisture vapor to escape so anglers stay dry and comfortable.
• Neoprene booties: 4mm double-taped neoprene booties provide warmth, durable protection and an integrated gravel guard with lace hook to keep debris out of your boots.
• Secure fit system: Adjustable Y-back suspenders and an included wading belt with quick-release locking buckles help achieve a comfortable, secure fit for extended wear.
• Splash-proof storage: A zippered flip-out security chest pocket and splash-proof zippered pocket keep a phone, license or small gear protected and accessible.
• Lightweight and abrasion-resistant: The 4-ply nylon upper is breathable yet abrasion-resistant, making these waders suitable for frequent on-stream use without heavy bulk.

Who It's For

The Canyon II is best for anglers who want a balance of breathability and waterproofing for spring through summer trout and warm-weather wade fishing. It is well suited to fishermen who value pockets for small valuables and a lighter overall package than full rubber waders.

Those who regularly fish in very cold conditions, use glued-on boot systems, or need a factory-attached rubber boot with heavy insulation may want to consider alternatives. Also, anglers who expect extremely abrasive conditions around rocks and sharp roots should inspect seam durability and consider heavier-duty models if seam longevity is a top priority.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Breathable DRIPORE Gen 2 4-ply upper keeps moisture from building up during active use.
• 4mm double-taped neoprene booties are comfortable and include integral gravel guards for debris protection.
• Comfortable adjustable Y-back suspenders and quick-release buckles make donning and doffing quick and secure.
• Splash-proof zippered flip-out chest pocket is useful for phones or other valuables while on the water.

Cons

• Customer feedback includes a few reports of inside leg seam issues over time, so seam care and inspection are recommended.
• Sizing runs mixed for some buyers; some find a roomy chest while others note variability, so try for fit before extended use.
