Pros

Have fished these waders for one season only - so can't comment on long term durability.
+ Extremely light weight
+ Packs down smaller than a football - excellent for backpacking
+ Material does prevent overheating and has some stretch to it (as advertised)

One additional note - I'm 6'7'' and the XL king fits me pretty well.


Cons
These do pretty much everything you would hope from a set of travel waders. Only minor cons I can think of...
- Price (would purchase them again however)
- A small mesh pocket in the inside would be nice for folks wishing to go ultralight
- Slightly wider straps might be nice
