Wader Poll

[Lipripper92592]

I've had a few pairs of Redington Waders. The current pair I have is about 4 years old. They are touch too, most of the time The sonic pros are great, but pricey. There are a few review from flyfishing outfits online, where they field and office test about ten of the top models, and rate each one based on different parameters,(moisture level, sweat, cut, flex, layers of fabric, etc. Don't get DWR product, (Durable water resistant) as most of them do not breath, and are not waterproof and break down fairly quickly. The above study also takes into account, the water permeability of the material. Most likely you will spend a few bills to get a quality product.

Thanks man I'll check that out! I wish they made kayak specific fishing waders.

I've been looking at the "pant" waders as well, just a bit less to stow when out on the water. Below are a few sites that I've been looking at lately for waders.

There is a lot of data in the above study.

There is a lot of good info in that yellowstone shootout. Basically what I learned is that waders are pretty much shit unless you spend at least $400! haha

With the exception of the orvis silver sonics those seem well regarded.
