I am on the lok out for a set of waders that dont cost the earth ( on a tight dole budget ) :( . What way do they come are the boots seperate or attached.... What would I expect to pay, and I guess the jacket would have to be bought seperate...

As I have very little info maybe some of you could enlighting me before I head into Henerys and I dont want to make a arse of myself asking stupid questions...

I've a pair of Dennett neoprene waders for about four years now, cant fault them, £50 plus postage from Glasgow angling centre https://www.fishingmegastore.com/dennet ... ~8059.html These, as most neoprene waders do, come with the boots attached. I prefer the neoprene waders to the likes of breathable ones, where boots are separate, for my sea fishing as they are a lot warmer plus the breathable ones are dearer and wouldn't like to expose them to salt water in case I destroyed them! If I was to fish a mark which had anything other than a sandy bottom I would want to be using waders with a felt sole for that bit of extra grip for safety. I don't use a jacket with my waders for sea fishing as they're only for warmth and walking a short distance into the surf for casting so can't offer any advice on that but I'm sure someone else can help you on that matter.
