Asking for a mate as I am a tall fat bloke

Just back from France where we had to get into the water in chest waders for every fish, I have Vass 700 series and they are fine.

My little tubby short arse of a mate had a pair from Lidl or Aldi or some such outlet and they would not go up over his stomach and he got soaked on every occasion, I did not laugh too much

So, my question is can anyone recommend Chest waders for my little Tellytuubby mate please ?

TIA

As a fatty myself, I quite rate the Snowbee Granite chest waders. I say rate, I've been in the water and come out dry, can't ask for much more 😂😂

To slip on for casting or the netting of fish I'd rather have waders oversized.
Different if netting lakes or working in the water for long periods of time.
Anyway I'm a short, fat barsteward and the Vass waders are fine for me.
Are you sure?
