Buying my first set I'm thinking ether the Trakker ones or the Vass 700 think it was both around £80 ?


Any advice would be much appreciated

I did hear he'd shut up shop but not sure if that's true or not. If you can get a set pros are cheap and well made, the only difference between them and higher end vass waders seems to be the short boot.

Just brought a new pair of pros off Amazon. The last pair spring a leak due to my incompetence!! But I had them ten years. Really hard wearing and I recommend highly.

Just spotted these on the bay

Pros Chest Waders

Good price.

I have a pair of these and went "to size" (I'm an 11) and they fitted fine.

Plus 1 for the Pros, got a set last year and for they are very good quality and crazy cheap. Much better than the cheap chinese ones for similar money.

Did you buy true to size or did you size up?

from their website

>>>Waders are manufactured to a smaller shoe size so we recommend that you order one size bigger than your usual size of shoe.

Yes, I saw that - Just looking for real life feedback on the sizing from people who own them

I am a 10 and my first pair I had were size 11. They were fine but for ease of getting in and out my 2nd pair I ordered a 12.
Quality waders at a decent price and they ain't vass .

every pair of waders I have ever owned I have bought a size up purely for easy getting on and off

its not like your walking miles in them ? and of course in the cold we all know that loose fitting boots are much warmer than snug fitting ones its a no brainer IMO

I bought some Olly Skins waders a few seasons ago they have been mustard! Brilliant waders and hard wearing so far can highly recommend 👍

Im an 8.5 in normal shoes and got a 9 in the waders and they fit perfectly fine. Don't slip around on foot and easy enough to get on in a hurry.
