Are they worth the money?

I’m sick of replacing ocean novas every 6 months. If these lasted 3 seasons leak free you would be breaking even money wise but with less hassle. Serious consideration being given!

Been eyeing them up since kstaff posted a link to them well over a year ago, planning on getting a pair for next season, make do with my patch work waders for this this year. I'd love to hear from anyone else who's bought them? They sound like the dogs b-

I got a pair last year and have nearly lived in them for that time, I my opinion they are a very good option. Very light and comfortable and this makes a difference when you are wearing them for long periods. I have used them for digging bait, crabing and of course fishing. I had a pair of Dunlop chest waders prior to buying these and these were three times the weight of the bassboots.

Best Wader there is , used to go through 3 - 4 pairs a year . have the Bassboots 3 years now and there still perfect ( And ive been rough as F~~K with them on purpose) Made to fit so way more comfortable . There a Wader for Life as they can be repaired and even have the Boot replaced if needed.

I got a pair of the heavier weight Bassboots about 3 years ago and it was the best money i ever spent, i would have gone through 5 or 6 pairs of ordinary waders in same amount of time.

I use my Bassboots at least 3 days a week at this time of year and its more like 7 days a week in the summer.

Its money well spent Alby you wont regret it.

Ordered a pair on Thursday 28th Feb, they arrived yesterday 11th March (really good turnaround for something custom fit) Malcolm was on to me a few times to confirm everything.

I got the lightweight material with the Hunter Argyle Boot. They’re exceptionally light, and the boot is very comfortable. Free delivery and at the minute the Euro is quite strong against GBP so it’s as good a time as any.

For beach fishing I rarely wade over the boot along the east coast but i’m going to do a bit of trout & lure fishing during the summer when the weather warms up to test them out.

I have a reminder in my calendar at work to post a review after 6, 12 & 18 months, and if I’m still sweet on them at that point, it’s money very well spent.

What are the boots like at keeping your toes warm

Not got a pair but I am interested. Have had LOADS of waders over the years. From the dearest to the cheapest they all have one thing in common...they leak. The only drawback, and I have to say it is considerable to me, is how much grip [or not] do you get with what appears to be a wellie boot! Don't fancy those hopping around rocks etc.

you can get them with latex socks if you're a rock hopper and couple with wading boots:
