Waders

THERE’S ONLY ONE QUESTION TO ASK WHEN IT COMES TO WADERS…

The big question is do they keep you dry? And whether they actually do keep you dry or not depends on the quality and the material used to make them. And yes you can go for nylon waders to make sure you keep dry within lightweight material, but they can be hot! Recommendation on Wader Features
The waders must be breathable. ...
The wader should be a stockingfoot wader, as they are more versatile than a bootfoot wader.
Waders should be as light as possible. ...
Unless you fish in near-freezing or sub-freezing weather frequently, there is no reason to get an insulated wader. Remember waders are not a fashion statement so allow plenty of room for movement and extra clothing in cold conditions. It is important to leave plenty of movement around the crutch area so you can negotiate river banks, fences etc without busting your seams. The most common area were waders fail is at the crutch and inner thigh, because they are to tight. You may look a bit like the Michelin man but trust me the fish won't care. Make sure your waders come with a wading belt and make sure you use it as it is an important safty feature. Also a good breathable material and welded seams are also important. Most good waders are made of a 3 layer breathable material similar to Gortex and have 4 to 5 layer for the leg area. This gives you added protection from wear. Gravel guards and hooks to attach to your boot are also necessary. All brands make good waders and also have failures. So do your homework before you buy.
