Looking to buy a set of chest waders, not to fish in but for work parties and to 'walk' the various stretches of river I have access to during the close season so I don't want to spend a fortune and they must be tough. I thought I had found what I was looking for, Daiwa Neoprene size 12 £56 but (why is there always a but?) I am on the large side and have been told they won't fit me. So has anyone out there got any recommendations based on size? I usually take a 12 boot (providing its not narrow), I am just over 6' tall, 42-44 waist and 48-50 chest. Thanks.

do a nylon set for not very much, ideal for work parties as they normally get cream crackered easily.
or try someone like used tackle as they often have cheapy ones
Suggest get a size bigger than required as the cheapy ones are often quite narrow

Ocean waders are tough and last years, wont puncture or tear as easy as nylon or breathables. they also do a budget version if getting lighter use.

Neoprenes make you sweat like mad if working.

FB is universally known as something other than 'fuller body' in the trade.
Diawa neoprene waders have a shocking build quality, but they are being made to a price.

I know that but I was being sensitive to the chaps feelings just in case Bob Roberts is looking in, he takes offence at people referring to other other people with the 'f' word. Besides, I have no idea of the marital status of his parents.
