Waders ? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have some redingtons and they are pretty tuff. I buried a nice treble in the lower leg while wrestling a halibut and just a tiny puncture made it through, dab of aquaseal and good as new. I went with Redingtons because of price and the size availability, I'm tall and skinny so the medium tall fits perfect, no wedgies when bending over.

I ended up buying the Caddis Deluxe Breathable waders and really like them. I order mine online from Sports Authority. They currently have a deal where you get 20% off your order and free shipping over $75. Hope this helps in your decision.

Check out the Kokakat Tempest Pants with socks as an alternative to traditional waders. I just recently got these and love it! They also have a version with a relief zipper.

I was given some Kokotat waders by a BWE member a few months ago, they're awesome waders! They say the best things in life are free but after using these for a few months I can honestly say that these waders are something I'd be more than happy to pay for.

Own these as well and have used them the most. More versatile especially in warmer weather, because the are easy to take on and off on the yak. You want to wear a good drytop with them when launching though to keep water out.

I love Kokotat gear. I have several of their tops, no pants but, I have a Kokatat Meridian suit that I use for hooping, and really cold weather trips.

It's an unbelievable piece of quality gear.

Kokatat is the best you can buy, that's why people use them all over the world in extreme conditions.

I recommend all the above. I bought all my stuf online used but it's all been great gear.
