Shane has it right.
The length is very generous. I'm 5'10" and leggy, yet there's plenty of rollover from the portion that's meant to cover your knees inside the waders. I've tried them cuffed back over the top, and tucked inside the top. Either way works- though only one allows garter use.
Like any other hose, they do snag in dense brush, but I don't find myself cursing less and less when it happens. When fall rolls around, I'll probably don my Kevlar kilt for chasing grouse through our thick and spikey uplands. Pehaps I'll knit some heavy nylon hose, and topstitch tooling leather on like BMX shin guards.
Cheers,
Kevin.

Proudly monkeying with tradition since 1967.
