Budget conscious anglers who want the highest review volume and strongest recent demand in this comparison, at 6.2 pounds in a size 11 brown nylon and PVC build, without paying FROGG's higher neoprene prices.
Skip if
Skip this if you specifically want neoprene insulation for genuinely cold water, since this pair uses nylon and PVC rather than the neoprene found on the FROGG 2713143, or if size 11 doesn't match your fit.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Anyone stocking a tackle shed on a budget eventually runs into the TIDEWE WD001-BN-11, and at $49.99 it's the least expensive wader among the four compared here.
The spec sheet lists a nylon and PVC build, a 6.2 pound weight, size 11, and brown color, sold as a single 1 count pair. That combination keeps weight down compared to the 9 pound neoprene FROGG 2713143, trading some insulation for a lighter, more affordable shell suited to three season fishing rather than deep cold.
The review numbers back up the price advantage. A 4.4 star rating across 13,200 reviews is both the highest rating and by far the largest review volume of the four waders here, dwarfing the 2,100 reviews on the FROGG 2711126-2X and the 786 on the FROGG 2713143. Bought last month sits at 600+, more than double the FROGG 2711136-LG's 300+ and far ahead of the other two FROGG listings. For anglers who don't need neoprene specifically, this combination of low price, high rating, and strong recent demand is hard for the entire FROGG lineup to match on paper.

Performance notes
A 6.2 pound weight paired with a nylon and PVC build points to a wader designed for lighter carry and warmer conditions rather than the coldest water of the season, especially compared to the 9 pound neoprene FROGG 2713143. Size 11 and a brown colorway suggest a fairly standard, utilitarian build aimed at broad appeal rather than a specialized fit. Sold as a single 1 count pair, the WD001-BN-11 keeps things simple compared to bundled kits. At $49.99, the pricing lines up with the lighter materials used, since nylon and PVC typically cost less to produce than neoprene. For three season wading where insulation matters less than weight and price, this spec combination lines up well; for genuinely cold water, the heavier neoprene alternative may still be worth the extra cost.
What buyers say
With 13,200 reviews and a 4.4 star average, the WD001-BN-11 has by far the largest and most consistent review base among the four waders compared here, more than six times the review count of the FROGG 2711126-2X. Bought last month of 600+ is also the strongest recent demand figure in the set, roughly double the FROGG 2711136-LG's 300+ and well ahead of the FROGG 2713143's 0+. That pattern, a high rating sustained across a large review volume plus strong current purchase activity, suggests a listing that has proven itself over time and continues to sell at a steady pace.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the TIDEWE WD001-BN-11 have so many more reviews than the FROGG waders?
The facts don't specify how long each listing has been live, but the 13,200 reviews compared to 786 to 2,100 for the FROGG options suggest either a longer time on the market or substantially higher sales volume, both consistent with its lower $49.99 price.
Is nylon and PVC as warm as neoprene for wading?
Neoprene, used in the FROGG 2713143, is generally the material associated with more insulation. The WD001-BN-11's nylon and PVC build and lighter 6.2 pound weight suggest a design built more for general use than for the coldest water conditions, though the tradeoff is a lighter carry overall.
What size does the WD001-BN-11 come in?
The listed specs show size 11, sold as a single 1 count pair in brown. Buyers needing a different size should confirm current options on the Amazon listing, since only size 11 appears in the data here, alongside the 6.2 pound weight and nylon and PVC build.
