Overview
Standing in a river for hours means every pound on your body matters, and the Paramount MWDW007-ELK-MD is the lightest wader in this comparison at just 3.1 pounds, built from nylon in a medium size with an elk colorway. At $169.99, it also carries the highest price tag of any product in this set.
That weight is a fraction of the 9 pound FROGG 2713143 and well under the 6.2 pound TIDEWE WD001-BN-11, a meaningful gap for anyone walking a distance to reach the water. Its 4.5 star rating across 413 reviews is the highest in this comparison, edging out TIDEWE's 4.4 stars, the next-highest rating among the alternatives here.
It is also one of only two products in this set showing recent purchase activity, with 50+ units bought last month, matching the FROGG 2711126-2X's same figure. Combined with a Paramount Outdoors branded feature listing, the picture is of a lighter, higher-rated wader that commands a premium price but backs it with both a top star rating and evidence of ongoing recent sales, unlike the FROGG 2713143, a lower-priced alternative in this same comparison set that shows no recent purchase activity at all.
Pros
- 4.5 star rating, the highest of any wader in this comparison
- Lightest option in the set at just 3.1 pounds
- 50+ units bought last month, tied for the highest recent-demand figure here
- 413 reviews is a solid sample size supporting the top rating
- Medium size with an elk colorway, sold as a single 1 count unit
Cons
- At $169.99, this is the single most expensive wader in the comparison
- 413 reviews is far smaller than TIDEWE's 13,200 review base
- Price is more than three times the $49.99 TIDEWE, the cheapest option in this set
- Nylon build may offer less cold-water insulation than the neoprene FROGG 2713143

Performance notes
A 3.1 pound nylon build is dramatically lighter than the 9 pound FROGG 2713143 or the 6.2 pound TIDEWE WD001-BN-11, which points to a design prioritizing mobility and reduced fatigue over long stretches of standing or walking in water. The medium size and elk colorway keep the listing simple, and the Paramount Outdoors branded feature suggests this is positioned within a dedicated product line rather than a generic listing. At $169.99, the price reflects both that lighter build and the top 4.5 star rating in this comparison. The 50+ bought-last-month figure indicates the product is moving in the current market, not just holding a rating from past sales, which sets it apart from the FROGG 2713143 in this same comparison, which shows 0+ for that same measure.
What buyers say
A 4.5 star rating across 413 reviews is the highest average in this entire comparison, ahead of TIDEWE's 4.4 stars, the next-highest rating among these alternatives. While the review count is smaller than TIDEWE's 13,200, it is still a reasonable sample for judging consistency. The 50+ bought-last-month figure is one of only two instances of recorded recent demand in this comparison set, alongside the FROGG 2711126-2X, suggesting this product is both well rated historically and still actively selling at its $169.99 price point, rather than relying solely on a legacy review base.
