I’ve owned both. The 5 star frog legs are more durable in swamps. They won’t rip and tear like rubber will

This^^^im In hip boots all the time during gun season. The 5 stars just look too bulky and hot. The best hippers I’ve owned were made by Cabelas. I can’t remember the name/model. But now I’m just wearing cheap $40 ones. I like that they’re not insulated, but they have no support. I wear old pants over them to protect the boots from tears. So they last....this is year 4 or 5 on them. I’d like to upgrade but I’m not sure the 5 stars are going to be what I’m looking for. If I can get 5 years out of these cheap things, do I need to spend $200 on those 5 stars? Idk. I was looking on amazon last night. They have plenty of options there.

Yea I was sort of thinking the same thing they looked bulky and hot.. and even with patches I'm sure I'll get 4 years out of my 60 doller pair.

Just got my Five Star Frog Legs installed on a pair of LaCrosse Aeroheads. My first thought was......holy crap these things are loud!! :shock:

Do they get better with use? At this point I’m thinking about covering them in Stealth Strips. The way they are now there’s no way I’m sneaking within 200 yards of a buck bed without being heard. :o

I have the snake proof froglegs installed on a pair of LaCrosse Aerohead Snake boots...I love them...they are noisy if you rub them against each other, but I guess I'm so scrawny I typically don't have a problem with it. What about doing like someone else said and put some sweat pants or something over them? I've never used stealth strips so not sure how they'd do constantly in and out of water? These things are tough though....briars and thorns don't even phase them!

That’s good to hear. I’m gonna wear them every day this winter/spring while scouting. Hopefully after a couple hundred walking miles they are good to go by September.

You’ll still have to be aware not to rub your legs together so maybe stealth strips would be a good application on the inner areas but after scouting and some hunts they got significantly quieter

Stealth strips quiet them down to mouse fart level.

Did you cover everything or just certain spots?

I have went through quite a few pairs of frog legs.
My favorite pair were attached to Bogs with the neoprene uppers.
My 2nd favorite were attached to Lacrosse granges.
I could not find a brand on any of the chaps, but the most important thing is to have a good comfortable walking boot attached to your chaps.
I coon hunted in mine year round in all kinds of terrain and conditions.
I wish I could find a brand on the chaps that are attached to the Bogs.
They were my all time favorite pair because the Bogs were a super comfortable pair of boots to walk in and the chaps were tighter fitting than any others I have had and did not rub as bad as a lot of the frog legs I have had or seen other hunters wear.

Wick outdoor works was the original inventor of the frog legs. They went out of business a few years ago.
