Orvis endurance breathable waders are good , bought a pair about two years ago . this year i noticed i noticed a tiny little hole on the inside of the legs
where they had rubbed against each other while walking which was starting to leak , took them back to the orvis shop and they gave me a brand new pair . As
there stuff has a 25 year wear and tare warrantee. Aside from that theyve been great , i paid about £80 off ebay for them. If its Neoprene your after snowbee
are good and neoprene are genrally cheaper than breathables but a lot more durable and warmer , also bulkier. I have a brand new pair of simms polartec ones
that ive never worn because i like the versatility of breathables , i picked them up in a sportfish clearance sale , i was doing a lot of winter grayling
fishing at the time which involed a lot of time in the river in sometimes blinking cold conditions but never used them. Snowbee breathables arnt bad either for
about £100 . Try the fly fishing mail order firms as they often have discounts on , places like sportfish , fishtec , tightlines direct, stephen j fawcet , and
harris sports mail to name but a few . Hope this helps

For the last six weeks of the close season you could leave a pair of ordinary waders stretched over a kettle barbecue or a large wok.Works a treat.

In addition to their normal range Snowbee also do a range with the suffix FB in the product number, when I enquired what the 'FB' stood for the lad on
the phone, without a moments hesitation, said, "fa............err.....I mean.....um.....fuller bodied".......We both knew what he meant.

Breathables are great in the summer/autumn, but freezing in the winter, and the neoprenes are the opposite, if you intend year round use, get both.

I did answer a question on BFW around the begining of march on the BFW barbel talk (i think!) thread, opinions please, relating to the pro's and cons of
neoprene chesties.
Maybe worth a look if you can find it. Cheers Cronky

I believe Simms are available in different (apart from foot) sizes.The breathables are exellent if a bit expensive. |
