Which waders should I buy for fly fishing?
Posted by admin on Saturday, December 26th, 2009
I need to buy a light-weight breatheable pair of waders for fly fishing. Any suggestions? Any that I should stay away from?

They carry a Cabela’s brand, selling breathable waders for as low as $59 to $240.
Remember the old saying, you get what you pay for.
I really like the Guide Tech Dry Plus breathable waders, those sell for around $190. A quote from Cabela’s, ” Body material is waterproof, breathable and highly puncture resistant, thanks to the five-layer Dry-Plus® technology in key stress areas, including the lower legs and seat. The rest of the body is built with four-layer Dry-Plus material for increased breathability. Try a pair, and we think you’ll agree Guide Tech waders represent the ultimate in high-performance fishing waders.”
The built in chest pack is a great place for my digital camera and other items.
The stocking foot wader feels a whole lot better than the usual feet found in waders. A quote from Cabela’s: “Stockingfoot Waders have neoprene feet ergonomically designed to fit your right and left foot better and feature durable, high-density soles for a longer life.”
They also sell waders made by: Simms, & Chota & Columbia & Hodgman & William Joseph.
