The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other fishing gear and tackle we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Getting a young kid into the water without soaking their clothes usually means either an oversized adult wader cinched down with straps or a purpose-built kid size, and the TIDEWE WD004-NE4/5-H falls into the second camp. It is listed in little-kid size 4/5, made from neoprene, and finished in a Next Camo Evos Brown pattern, with the whole thing sold as a single one-count unit for $89.99.
Neoprene is the same material used in the FROGG 2713143 waders in this set, and it is generally chosen over the nylon-and-PVC build of the budget TIDEWE WD001-BN-11 because it holds body heat better in cold creek water, which matters more for a small kid who cools off faster than an adult standing in the same shallow pool. That warmth comes with a modest weight tradeoff compared to a thin nylon shell, but for short creek or pond outings it is usually the more forgiving choice for a young angler.
At 4.6 stars across 1,300 reviews, this pair carries the highest rating of the four waders compared here, ahead of both FROGG models and TIDEWE's own WD001-BN-11. The listing does not report a bought-last-month figure, so recent demand volume cannot be confirmed from the available data, but the review count alone suggests this is an established listing rather than a new one.
Pros
- 4.6-star average across 1,300 reviews is the highest rating in this wader comparison
- Neoprene construction, the warmer material also used in the FROGG 2713143
- Purpose-built little-kid size 4/5 rather than a scaled-down adult cut
- Single one-count unit ready to go straight out of the box
- Next Camo Evos Brown pattern suited to creek and pond settings
Cons
- No bought-last-month figure is listed, making recent demand hard to gauge
- At $89.99 it costs more than the adult-size FROGG 2713143 at $89.15
- Limited to little-kid size 4/5, so it will not grow with an older child
- Neoprene waders run heavier than nylon options like the WD001-BN-11

Performance notes
Neoprene is a thicker, denser material than the nylon-PVC blend used in TIDEWE's own budget WD001-BN-11 wader, so it insulates better against cold water at the cost of extra weight and less packability. For a little-kid size 4/5, that tradeoff usually favors the warmth, since kids in shallow creek or pond water lose body heat faster than an adult would in the same conditions and tend to sit or kneel in wet mud more often. The camo pattern, Next Camo Evos Brown, is a still-water and brush pattern rather than a bright safety color, which fits shore and creek fishing more than open-water use where visibility matters. Being sold as a one-count unit means the $89.99 price covers the full wader set with no separate liners, boots, or accessories to budget for on top of it.
What buyers say
A 4.6-star average across 1,300 reviews is a strong pattern for a kids' wader, sitting above the FROGG 2713143 at 4.3 stars and the FROGG 2711126-2X at 4.2 stars, and slightly ahead of even TIDEWE's own budget WD001-BN-11 at 4.4 stars. Review volume in the thousands suggests this is not a niche listing, even without a reported bought-last-month number to confirm current sales pace. The combination of a high rating and a sizable review count points to a product that consistently satisfies buyers shopping specifically for a small kid's size, rather than one propped up by a handful of early reviews.

Frequently asked questions
What size kid does the TIDEWE WD004-NE4/5-H fit?
It is listed in little-kid size 4/5, meaning it is built for young children in that shoe-size range rather than teenagers or adults. Anyone needing a bigger fit should look at a different size listing or an adult-cut wader instead.
Is neoprene better than nylon for a kid's wader?
Neoprene, the material used here, generally holds more body heat than the nylon-PVC blend on TIDEWE's own WD001-BN-11, which matters for kids who chill faster than adults in cold creek or pond water. The tradeoff is a bit more weight and bulk than a thin nylon shell.
How does the rating compare to other waders on this list?
At 4.6 stars across 1,300 reviews, it edges out the FROGG 2713143 at 4.3 stars, the FROGG 2711126-2X at 4.2 stars, and TIDEWE's own WD001-BN-11 at 4.4 stars, making it the highest-rated pair in this specific comparison group of adult and kid-sized waders.
