Had a pair of Bison breathables about 3 years now,havent been used that much and had been ok wading across gullies,but had them on a few days ago in heavyish rain and they leaked like a seive both legs where the rain was running off my jacket my trousers were soaking. Son and I are fishing Clay Lakes in northern France next year and one of the requirements/suggestions is that fish should be handled, or at least unhooked, whilst in the water. Arrived well before they where due and the quality off these waders are amazing, been out fishing the night they arrived no leeks whatsoever and are really comfortable. The waders have a fleece lined handwarmer pocket on the front of the chest, with a velcro fastening flap pocket on the front of that (just the right size for my phone and baccy tin! The waders look well made as far as stitching and seams are concerned and the boots are decent quality.

First off he did not seal the seals all the way to the top of the wader when I asked why he thinks that we don't wade to the tops well some of us do and this is at variance with the quality of the repair he claims to do. Whats good about a wet suit is that even if you tear them whilst fishing they are not seriously compromised you still stay warm and have your boyancy still. Every pair of waders carries a 12 month manufacturers warranty from the time of purchase to ensure reliable, defect free performance .Most of my wader wearing is done in salt water as I do a lot of sea fishing, and I find you can happily wear them all day and stay totally dry, (unless a large wave catches you by surprise) You don't get wet through sweat on the hottest of days even when digging bait on the beach. Tried some Greys this year which I managed to pick up on an offer but I would definitely go for the Bisons again. I would give them 5 stars if they had a strap at the rear between the padded braces to prevent them from sliding off the shoulder.

Read more about the condition New with tags: A brand-new, unused, unworn and undamaged item in the original packaging (such as the original box or bag) and/or with the original tags attached.I'm not always that fussy about small details but my mrs did go on about this, i just said (it'll be fine). I didn't pay much, but were they a bargain, or something that will last a season or two before falling to bits? Really considering these due to being a newer member to the sport these look ideal for my first pair. I guess the best waders are what the trout anglers use with a sock not boot and breathable, but very expensive! After four hours fishing, most of it stood in the water and a 500m hike back to the car I expected to find my jeans damp with perspiration.

dug an old pair of daiwa's out of the garage today, been there for hanging there unused 2 years, they're 6 years old. Just a quick update on the boots, spoke with my mate who bought these a fortnight ago, and after several outings, some of the metal studs have fallen off, and others have pushed into the sole. Eventually the abuse they got in amongst all the barnacle covered reefs i fish took their toll and the heels started to come away and let water in.I find breathables with propper wader liners much more effective as once your clothes get "damp" under neoprenes you will start to get cold. An elastic chestline helps to keep you dry, and also has large inside chest pocket for small fishing items You'll need wad ing shoes or trainers (not included) with these waders. of my fshing is over mussel and barnacle covered rock or small boulders and still got the original studs in after a couple of years. Almost as good as Christmas :-) Equally, it's rather horrible to discover that something is missing, damaged or incorrect and have all the hassle of demanding a refund or getting the items replaced.
