Which wader? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Photoxic · 07-08-2012, 06:20 PM

Hi Everyone. I just picked up a used Hobie Outback and looking to get some gear before I head out. I decided on the NRS Chinook PFD, but I'm not sure about the wader. Should I get the chest high wader or just the pants. Which one is best? Please help. thanks

I wear breathable waders. I'm not convinced the more expensive ones are worth $pending the extra ca$h on. Salt destroys everything eventually.

I think I picked up a pair on sale for $99.

I have a pair of Hodgemans lower end waders. They keep me dry and cost around $80 on sale.

LOL... That's a good point. Seems like most of the ones I've been looking at don't have a zipper.
