Upgraded A1533164-01 Waders Review
Our verdict
At $39.98, the Upgraded A1533164-01 waders undercut the $49.99 TIDEWE WD001-BN-11 and the $89.15 to $99.99 FROGG models while posting a 4.5 star rating across 384 reviews, the highest star average of any wader in this comparison. Bought last month sits at 0+, so that top rating is not yet backed by a confirmed high volume of recent purchases.

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
A wader that keeps you dry without a big price tag is what most casual anglers are actually shopping for, and the Upgraded A1533164-01 waders are built around that ask. Priced at $39.98, it undercuts every wader in this comparison except the similarly budget priced Gonex and xiashuiku001 listings, and comes in a 210D nylon and PVC construction in brown.
The standout figure here is the rating. A 4.5 star average across 384 reviews is the highest of any wader compared, ahead of the TIDEWE WD001-BN-11's 4.4 stars and well ahead of both FROGG models at 4.3 and 4.2 stars. A 384 review count is a reasonable sample, smaller than TIDEWE's 13,200 but larger than the BASSDASH IMMERSE's 141 or the xiashuiku001's 117.
Bought last month is listed at 0+, so unlike TIDEWE's visible 600+ figure, there is no confirmed sign of a current buying surge attached to this rating. Still, a 210D nylon PVC build at $39.98 with a 4.5 star average is a strong combination on paper for anyone shopping primarily on price and rating, especially compared to the pricier FROGG models in this same lineup.
Pros
- 4.5 star rating across 384 reviews, the highest average of any wader in this comparison
- Priced at $39.98, cheaper than the $49.99 TIDEWE and both FROGG models
- 210D nylon and PVC construction, heavier duty denier than the 70D nylon on the Gonex listing
- 384 reviews is a reasonably sized sample, ahead of the BASSDASH and xiashuiku001 review counts
- Brown color works for blending into murky or muddy water conditions
Cons
- Bought last month is listed at 0+, with no confirmed current purchase volume
- 384 reviews still trails the TIDEWE WD001-BN-11's 13,200 by a wide margin
- Brand name reads as generic rather than an established name like FROGG or TIDEWE
- No listed weight or size specs beyond material and color

Performance notes
A 210D nylon rating is a heavier fabric than the 70D nylon used on the Gonex GXGN2412B-US in this comparison, which suggests a somewhat tougher shell against brush and rocks, though still lighter than a neoprene build like the BASSDASH IMMERSE. The PVC coating handles the actual waterproofing, the same basic approach used across most of the nylon based waders here. Brown is a practical, low visibility color for murky rivers and muddy banks. The listing does not specify weight or boot type, so it cannot be measured directly against the TIDEWE WD001-BN-11's listed 6.2 pounds, but a 210D nylon PVC build generally sits in a similar weight range to that kind of wader rather than the heavier neoprene options.
What buyers say
A 4.5 star average across 384 reviews is the highest rating in this entire comparison, ahead of the TIDEWE WD001-BN-11's 4.4 stars on 13,200 reviews and both FROGG models in the 4.2 to 4.3 range. The 384 review count is a solid, workable sample, larger than the BASSDASH IMMERSE's 141 or the xiashuiku001's 117, even if it remains far behind TIDEWE's volume. Bought last month shows 0+, which does not confirm an active current buying trend the way TIDEWE's 600+ figure does. Taken together, the pattern points to a genuinely well liked product on a meaningful review base, just without visible proof of ongoing sales momentum.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the Upgraded A1533164-01 have the highest rating in this comparison?
Its 4.5 star average across 384 reviews is higher than every other wader in this lineup, including the TIDEWE WD001-BN-11's 4.4 stars on 13,200 reviews. The rating is drawn from a smaller sample than TIDEWE's, but 384 reviews is still a reasonably sized base to support that score.
What is the Upgraded A1533164-01 wader made of?
It uses a 210D nylon shell with a PVC coating, in brown. That denier rating is heavier than the 70D nylon on the Gonex listing in this comparison, though still noticeably lighter than the neoprene used on the pricier BASSDASH IMMERSE waders.
Does the Upgraded A1533164-01 show strong current buyer demand?
Bought last month is listed at 0+, so there is no confirmed recent purchase surge, unlike the TIDEWE WD001-BN-11's 600+. The 4.5 star rating and 384 reviews suggest past buyers are satisfied, but current purchase momentum is not visible in the data provided.
