I have the old wicks chaps. No comparison to the new ones made.
A couple buddies have the Dans. They use a plastic clip for the waist clip. it usually breaks pretty quick. They also have the snakeproof. Way to hot for Fl Hunting for me. But they like them. The Muck boots also separate from the sole after 1 1/2 to 2 years. I get better life from the Lacrosse boots.
I dont worry ever about snakes. If you do worry about that, the regular ones of all them, I think would be sufficient.
My Wicks were leaking some after many years of use. I bought the stone creek ones. They seem good after 6 months of use. I wish they used a metal button instead of the plastic clips also. I broke one already shutting it in the truck door.
