New waders....

[James Laraway]

So my breathable waders seem to have given up the ghost and both stocking feet seem to have developed a leak over the winter ( no idea how)

So i thought, better get some new ones.

I use neoprenes for tubing as i need to stay warm but got to thinking that for general loch use i don't really go over my waist so thought why not try waist waders instead ?

So i have taken a punt on some cheap waist waders from Bison - the stocking foot ones come in at an amazing £64.99 and with a 12 month warranty. Once i get them i will let you know if the risk was worth it...

I have just got a pair of these from Taimen.

Very tough and now on my 2nd pair as I wade a lot. I prefer chesties as if too hot can simply roll them down and use shoulder strap as a belt.

At the price of waders just now, if you get a season out of them it would still be a great deal.

so i got them in the post. They look amazing...











Belt and braces. Great fit. Very neat stitching. Love the colour. Outside zip pockets - a very nice touch. The zip and the front is not for helping you pee , its for loosening them to help get them on and off.

Just need to test them now...

( the feet arent as massive as they look in the picture - its the camera angle !)

so i used the waders on Saturday and i am very very impressed for £70 inc postage !!! Great fit, finish and no leaks !

To be honest the braces are overkill as they stay up nicely with just the belt but that would be my only point.

The also do chest waders for £125 that look the business. From a Scottish based company called fishing mad..

I also bought their leisure battery charger for £20 that is amazing also....

They look really good for the price point.

Got to admit after too many holes in waders  I now just buy something cheaper and treat them more as disposable.

Saying that I've been float tubing in a pair of snowbee classic neoprenes now for over 5 years now and not a single issue....

They look great. Is the zip on the pockets waterproof too? I've been thinking about some waist waders do a small stream and these look great

[James Laraway]

i dont know if the pockets are waterproof as i havent tired them yet im afraid...not yet anyways...
