Vass probably the best to be honest but for some cheap waders you can use and abuse have a look at the pro-s - £40 delivered and more than up to the job.

Liverpool Waders - Fishfarm Pro.
Not the lightest but will last. Had mine around seven years now and they've been absolutely battered on heavy work parties, loads of fishing, loads of use - only just need replacing. £70ish and no yellow strap carper's STD.

Another vote for these. I dont really use waders that often so didnt want to spend too much. Got them for £45 theyre spot on.

Really depends what you need them for. I've got neoprene and Vass lightweight ones. Totally differnent and pros and cons to both. Neoprene are warmer better for winter, day sessions fishing to snags, very durable. The vass ones are good, alot ligher, dry out quick, easier to get on and off.

Mine are the same. Quality waders and boots that stand up if you need to jump in them while fishing.

So what would you guys recommend Wader wise for ease of getting on fast without any faffing about pulling here there and everywhere?
Reason i ask is I am disabled (spinal cord injury) have lower limb complete numbness although I can walk with a stick and still fish/sessions without any real issues apart from cant really push a barrow anymore so disabled swims for me.
But I had a real issue recently where I was on a platform and needed to get my prologic lightweight waders on as a fish had kited round some reeds and I had to put the rod down and seemed to take me forever to get them on I really struggled with my disability anyway managed to do it and get the fish in, but going forward I need to be able to do it quicker if I can.
any recommendations

I would go with the Liverpool waders; fishingwaders.co.uk as per the other posters' contributions.
They are excellent quality and roomy-easy to get into on your own.

The liverpool wader company, order the fish farm pro one size bigger than your normal shoes.

The fishingwaders.co.uk ones are the ones. Plus you don't have to be seen in those yellow straps like all the other plonkers.
IMO what sets the Vass 700s apart from the cheaper waders such as the fishingwaders ones (I have both) is the boot. Most waders have a normal welly type boot which is fine but not the easiest to get into in a hurry because of the height when they are folded down, the Vass however the boots are shorter making it easier to step into and have heavier duty soles and general build than most of the standard welly types, also the buckles are far better quality. Basically you pays your money and you takes your choice.

I have the liverpool waders 'fish farmer pro' and the boot is more rigid and free standing.
Im not sure about their other models.
