Overview
Wading into cold water before dawn calls for a wader that seals out moisture without sacrificing warmth, and that's the gap the FROGG 2713143 is built to fill. At $89.15, it sits in the middle of FROGG's own wader lineup, built from neoprene rather than the lighter nylon and PVC blends other brands use.
The spec sheet lists a 9 pound weight, a Medium size, and a forest green color. Neoprene adds bulk compared to nylon or PVC shells, which explains the heavier number next to this listing than the 6.2 pound TIDEWE WD001-BN-11. That extra weight buys insulation, the kind of tradeoff cold water anglers accept in exchange for staying warm longer.
Against the rest of the field, the 2713143 carries a 4.3 star rating across 786 reviews, close to the 4.2 stars the FROGG 2711126-2X holds across 2,100 reviews at $99.99, and just under the 4.4 stars the TIDEWE WD001-BN-11 holds across 13,200 reviews at $49.99. Price sits below the 2711126-2X and above both the TIDEWE option and the FROGG 2711136-LG at $69.99, positioning this pair as a neoprene specific choice rather than the cheapest option on the page.

Performance notes
The 9 pound weight tied to the FROGG 2713143 is a direct result of its neoprene shell, a material that traps more body heat than the nylon and PVC blends found on TIDEWE's waders. That makes the extra weight a functional tradeoff rather than a flaw, since neoprene is the standard choice for anglers working in genuinely cold water rather than warm summer creeks. The Medium size and forest green color point to a fairly standard build, not an oversized or camo focused variant. At $89.15, buyers are paying for the material upgrade over PVC or nylon rather than for any listed extra features, since none beyond material, weight, size, and color are specified here. Anyone comparing this to the lighter TIDEWE options should weigh insulation against weight before deciding, since the spec sheet only tells part of the comfort story.
What buyers say
A 4.3 star average across 786 reviews is a solid, if unspectacular, pattern next to the other waders in this set. The FROGG 2711126-2X holds a slightly lower 4.2 stars but nearly triple the review volume at 2,100, while TIDEWE's WD001-BN-11 holds a higher 4.4 stars across a much larger 13,200 reviews. The bought last month figure of 0+ for the 2713143 is the weakest recent demand signal among the four, well behind TIDEWE's 600+ and even the FROGG 2711136-LG's 300+. That pattern suggests steady historical satisfaction but a listing that isn't currently pulling much fresh purchase volume compared to its stablemates.

Frequently asked questions
Is the FROGG 2713143 wader warm enough for cold water fishing?
Its neoprene construction is the material most associated with insulation for cold water use, and the 9 pound weight reflects that thicker material. Compared to TIDEWE's nylon and PVC waders, neoprene typically retains more warmth, making this a reasonable pick for anglers prioritizing insulation over lighter weight.
How does the FROGG 2713143 compare in price to other FROGG waders?
At $89.15, it costs less than the FROGG 2711126-2X at $99.99, but more than the FROGG 2711136-LG at $69.99. That places it in the middle of FROGG's own lineup rather than at either price extreme, a reasonable middle position for buyers loyal to the brand who don't need the largest 2X sizing option.
What size and color options does this listing cover?
The listed specs show a Medium size and forest green color. Anglers needing a different size or color pattern should check current listings, since only this configuration appears in the facts here, and no alternate sizes or colors are confirmed as part of this specific ASIN.
