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!

waders

#1 Post by chrisfeeney30 »

Just looking for a few recommendations on which waders to get, my pair of sonic neoprene waders are leaking in so many places including the boot, its my 2nd or 3rd pair of waders in 3 years, kinda sick of neoprenes and thinking of getting a pair of Ocean waders, anyone have these/use them or have any other suggestions?

I have ordered waders from these guys in Liverpool. Can't complain, good quality at a decent price. They were able to do a bit of nip and tuck on the waders so they fitted me better before they sent them over.

Had a pair of Daiwa's for years, can't fault them.

Although if it helps I just bought a pair of those Hardware chesties from Glasgow Angling and they are pretty good for £70! I specifically wanted a pair with pinch clips on the straps and not those velcro straps which seem to be the norm these days. Wore them today for 6 hours hiking over the rocks and was very impressed. They have a decent size pocket and neat tighteners at the side too. If your not looking for a brand (like i usually do!) then I cant recommend them enough...esp for the money!

Hi Chris, I have these as a cheaper alternative to the bassboots.

http://www.gerrysfishing.com/waders/sno ... 0-8053.php

Only had em for 3 months so far and no complaints. But the bassboots are tried and tested over time if you can afford them.
I require a tremendous amount of calcium
