Not great support around the ankle but still for the price good stuff. Worth a look at. The Snowbee Neoprene range looked good buy starting at RRP £95. See the following www.fly-fishing-tackle.co...PRENE.html Cheers, Jon

Good, durable waders. Just don't wear them in high summer though, unless you need to lose a stone or two. Breathables are the thing for summer, and the choice is mind-boggling (and so can be the price ... £300 for the admittedly excellent, American, Simms brand). Don't go for cheapo breathables - they'll leak from the off, or very soon afterwards. They hate barbed wire, of course, too. PS - Orvis sell excellent neoprenes and breathables, too. Excellent after-sales service if you run into trouble with one of their products.

(think sauna or Turkish bath). I wore 'em in July and nearly passed out, but they do have felt soles which I was told was what you needed for grip whilst wading. Is this true? Phil

Posts: 477 (27/09/06 19:07) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	If you want to walk any distance without sweating half your body weight then neoprenes are non-starters - it's tough enough in 'breathables'! I ruined a mobile phone on a summers evening when it became sodden in my trouser pocket underneath the breathable waders! One option is to wear additional thermals under the breathables in winter... Felt soles are allegedly good for river beds/gravle - but not so much fun on muddy banks I can tell you - think keystone cops! I screwed in some cleats to asisst with grippage. regards Paul.

Wear either shorts or no trousers under the neoprenes It is something else to carry, but as noted above, they ain't best suited for walking in I bought the Daiwa chesties for £50. Good sensible buy for infrequent use. Gary Unfortunately barbel fishing seems to have had a disproportionately high number of cynics who disparage other peoples captures. They are so sad. - Andy Orme

My main use for waders is carp fishing where I need to get them on asap (yeah right!) in the middle of the night when required, I use Diawa nylons as I imagine neprenes take considerably more effort to get into, does that ring true?

I bought them for general wading work - not just for fishing, and they have survived well. I was using them Thursday setting nets etc and they kept me totally dry throughout the few hours i was using them. They are expensive, but you do get what you pay for. Regards, Joe.
