Chest Waders

Chest-high waders for pond, river and marsh work, in PVC from 0.45 mm to 0.8 mm and in Taslan nylon with a waterproof PVC membrane for lighter wear. Bib pants are listed here too, for buyers whose crews already own their own footwear. Every wader in this category is bootfoot: the boot is injection-moulded and welded to the leg, and every seam is heat-welded rather than stitched, so there is no stitch line at the ankle to leak.

Choose by ground and depth. Kneeling in gravel or handling nets needs 0.6 to 0.8 mm PVC with reinforced knees; long shifts on soft banks are easier in 0.45 mm or Taslan. Reflective pockets suit night work, mesh lining suits hot climates. Men’s sizes run EU 36 to 47, women’s 37 to 41.

What is the minimum order? 10 pieces per model, mixable across models and colours. Fully custom designs start at 60 pieces.

How fast do you ship? Samples in about 3 days, regular bulk orders in about 7 days. The sample charge is credited against the bulk order.

Can the boots be replaced later? No. The boot is welded into the wader by design, which is exactly why there is no seam at the ankle. Buyers who need separate footwear should look at our PVC bib pants.
