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
Heading out for a quick evening cast off a muddy bank calls for a wader that will not break the budget, and the Night US-81260-41 is built for exactly that price point. At $24.99 it is the cheapest option in this comparison by a wide margin, built from a single piece of black nylon.
That price is less than half of the next-cheapest alternative here, the $49.99 TIDEWE WD001-BN-11. Its 4.3 star rating across 1,700 reviews sits close to the FROGG 2713143's 4.3 stars from 786 reviews, though it falls short of TIDEWE's 4.4 stars from 13,200 reviews and slightly ahead of the FROGG 2711126-2X's 4.2 stars.
The listing keeps details minimal: a black, one-piece nylon build sold as a single unit, without the weight or size specification found on the FROGG and TIDEWE listings. For anglers who need a basic, low-cost wader for occasional use, the $24.99 price and a 4.3 rating from a sample of 1,700 reviews suggest a product that has satisfied a meaningful number of buyers at a fraction of the cost of every other alternative in this same comparison set.

- Rating of 4.3 trails TIDEWE's 4.4 star average from a much larger review base
- No weight or size specification listed, unlike TIDEWE and FROGG 2713143, which both list a weight figure

Performance notes
A single-piece black nylon build with no listed weight points to a stripped-down wader meant for basic wading rather than long days in cold water. Nylon dries faster and packs lighter than neoprene, which suits warmer-weather trips or quick outings rather than sustained cold-water immersion. The listing does not specify a weight or size the way TIDEWE's 6.2 pound, size 11 listing does, or the way FROGG 2713143's 9 pound, medium size listing does, which makes a direct bulk comparison difficult from the spec sheet alone. The minimal detail here, just material, color, and piece count, suggests a no-frills product built to hit a low price point rather than to compete on documented feature depth with the two FROGG listings or the more heavily specified TIDEWE model in this same comparison.
What buyers say
A 4.3 star average from 1,700 reviews is a respectable, established track record for a budget nylon wader, sitting just 0.1 stars below TIDEWE's 4.4 average and a notch above the FROGG 2711126-2X's 4.2 stars. The bought-last-month figure of 0+ suggests the listing is not currently showing fresh purchase momentum, a pattern also seen on the FROGG 2713143's own 0+ figure, though TIDEWE shows 600+ and the FROGG 2711126-2X shows 50+ for that same measure. The accumulated 1,700 reviews still indicate a long history of buyers satisfied enough to leave a rating at this low price point.
