waders

At the suggestion of various members and given the magazines will run a mile from criticising a piece of kit, here is your chance to tell us what you really think about a rod, reel, line, lure... keep it legal please!

Ocean are good tough waders. Last a hell of a lot longer than neoprenes and great for collecting bait in. Not as warm as the neoprenes though.

Ive given up on neoprene chest waders, they really just aren't up to the abuse and evitably start to leak after less than a year....usually around the crotch area :oops:

Vision Extreme Zip. (Breathable)

Zip front makes getting in and out easy.

Very light and comfortable.

Tough. During the summer I use them maybe 4 or 5 times a week.

greys appollo for neoprenes - other ones don't last
simms for breathable - far ahead of any greys or vision but they r expensive. at the middle price range the vision are good value as are the hardys. I have to stress (and I reckon teacher will agree) that the boots are nearly more important that the waders with breathables.
ocean are good in the rubber ones but that only if you want the rubber ones
