Waders
Does anyone have any recommendations for a pair of chest waders? Going to be using them for trotting whilst in the river….very unlikely to be using them in summer so mostly spring/autumn. So not convinced I need to go to the expense of breathable waders, or am I making a mistake? My local tackle...barbel.co.uk
Want full chest waderif your looking for thigh waders the DAM neoprene lined ones are decent for the money - https://www.fishingmegastore.com/bootfoot-waders/dam-flex-rubber-hip-wader~44954.html
This is what i have always had and today my wellies filled up with water so t know no holes In them at all booth feet my legs stayed dry thoDaiwa neoprene chest waders. I'm not going to lie and say "They're the best!" because I've never had any others. They keep you dry, warmish in winter, and you'll sweat your butt off in warm weather (but so what, eh?!)
If you buy expensive breathables, some manufacturers do a myriad of different shapes eg Simms.Slight thread hijack here.
How do chesties get sized ??
I'm a 13 in shoe size and struggle to get a good choice of shoes/boots. I'm also on the larger size as well. I bought a pair of second hand size 13 Snowbee chest waders a while ago and while they are OK, they are on the snug size.
I'm always a little dubious about buying something that covers so much of our bodies, just based on the size of our feet. I know some chest waders come in larger body sizes, but how do you know that they'll fit ??
