I recently tried to buy some pro's, placed the order but they just refunded me saying that because of the current epidemic, they couldn't supply at this point in time. I mailed them back to say I wasn't in a hurry and they could send them when they could but I didn't get a reply.

So, I ordered some Vass 700e's and I'm pretty pleased that I did. As said below the lower cut boot section really does make getting them on and off so much easier and so far they seem to be very well made with plenty of room (I've eaten a few too many pies in my time).

I got them from Vale Royal Angling for £60 delivered using their SAVE20 discount. That code was still working yesterday because my mate ordered some. At that price, they are a bargain...

Same here. Thought switching to Vass would make a difference as the mice had demolished my old (cheap) waders. Nothing special though, they're just waders and actually feel a lot less flexible and durable than my cheapies.

Scierra x 16000 boot foot chest waders... Wellie is a low type a about 8 inches tall, perfectly breathable, had mine a few years and love em, easy to slip on when rolled down.. Had no issues with them.. Went through 2 sets of VASS in a season, one split on the ass, one on the welly and they were the heavy duty ones..

Does anybody know if the vass 600 and 700 have the same size boot ? Or are the 700 shorter.

Mine do exactly the same, total pain in the butt, can find no entry point, they just leak on one side

They are a little more expensive but I've had a pair of Ocean waders with a studded boot for over 25 years. They were £80 when I bought them. I've only just had to repair them in one area due to wear and tear and I had a small pin***** just above the boot a couple of years ago because a thorn went through the wader during a work party. They have a small boot height too so getting them on and off has never been a problem.

I've used vass for years but I will get ocean next. They look great for the price. The pros ain't the one, too floppy imo.

Mate if you want to look 'Carpy' you can only go with the VASS ones

You also have to make sure you get the yellow straps as these look epic when taking your capture shots in the water whilst looking longingly at your fish

Disclaimer: I own the yellow strap Vass ones and also gaze longingley at my captures, however I look more like I'm wearing a skin tight green bondage suit (they don't make any bigger than mine) rather than the uber cool and carpy pictures gracing the internet.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
