Been offered a pair of neoprene chest waders but they don't look like they are as agile as some like the vass/trakker ones - anyone use the neoprene version what are they like getting on and off especially when wet ???

Agility not a waders strength unless you go up to Simms and the like.
Neoprene are warm, and have a touch of stretch in them, and generally fit tighter i have found.

Neoprene are very difficult to get on in a hurry.

I've got a set I use for sea fishing, as said above you can't get them on easy, there not the type you can have near your rods and step into while playing a fish you need both hands to pull them up. Getting a larger set that you need to fit you might resolve this but I'm not sure. The plus side is they are warm in winter but you cook in the summer. For me there are ideal sea fishing in the winter or keeping on all day winter carp fishing.

Hard to put on. Takes ages to dry. Red hot in summer and cold in winter. Get a set of ocean. Neoprene waders the ones I've had both went just above the welly. Make sure what ever type you buy hang them up dont fold them

I agree, they're absolutely awful.

Ive had a pair for 8-9 years, i prefer neoprene, how can i put this delicately, i don't fill my ones as much as most so i dont overheat in them, i can quite happily stalk around in them for hours at a time. Not had to do a thing to them in that time. They only take minutes to dry if they are not folded up. For £45 they've been an absolute bargain.

Neoprene fine to get on, concertina them down, both feet in, pull one side up at a time.
