HOW TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE IN YOUR SEARCH?

In order to choose your pair of waders or your fishing waders correctly, you will need to ask yourself several questions. The answers you provide should shed light on the elements to monitor.

What condition do I fish most often in? If you are a fan of trout fishing in streams during cold periods, you will naturally turn to fishing equipment in neoprene which is warmer, and conversely if your season is mainly during the beautiful days.

Am I an active fisherman or more in waiting? Here too, comfort must be the priority. Dynamic fishermen will need to focus on models that can be equipped with fishing shoes or fins for float tube fishermen.

What budget do I want to dedicate to this purchase? Price is often a sign of quality, but that's not everything. You can opt for an economic model if you use your neoprene waders only occasionally. It is then essential to store them properly when dry.

What size am I? This is certainly the most important aspect in your choice. Making a mistake on this point can be particularly penalizing and lead you to great discomfort by the water. You should then use a meter to take your measurements.

Suppliers now offer size charts with some data.

Chest circumference, leg length or pelvis length for waders
Waist measurement and shoe size for fishing pants

Other elements can also help you make your choice, through the fishing accessories that can be found for these products.

ACCESSORIES AND TECHNICAL DETAILS

The transport bag for waders and waders is probably one of the least creative, but most practical. It is still rarely offered, but some make it a real plus. Whether a soft bag, or even a waterproof bakkan, you should pay attention to this small point.

The repair kit is almost always delivered, included in your purchase, knee reinforcements not always being sufficient. It is difficult to find it back once the sales of the model are finished. Even if it's not problematic to repair with other elements, there can be real differences in colors or quality. It should therefore be stored in a dry place.

The shoelaces are also elements that have their importance. You should opt for high-quality models. They will lead a life mainly underwater, which is not always enough to give them great endurance.

The studs for shoes or for waders can allow you to slip less on certain bottom and river profiles. You will usually find them in packs of 20 and in different materials. Some will be more resistant than others to corrosion.
