Maybe just save up a little and get some Vass, cheaper waders probably wont last

Not necessarily. I bought a pair from Amazon 5/6 years ago for less than £30 (I wasn't sure how much I would use so didn't want to spend loads at the time) and they are still going strong. No leaks or issues at all, not overly well looked after and still do the job. Granted they are not used every week but have had plenty of use over the years so been a great buy. Sadly they are not branded (on the product) so can't give you a recommendation

Fishingwaders.co.uk make quality waders at a fair price, but I doubt they will turn around your order in time if you need them for the weekend.

The Daiwa nylon waders are fine for £50 and they sell them all over.

The Dirt Boot waders are about as cheap as you can get (I think they are the same as the Trakker nylon 1s) I've never used them so can't comment on quality. I have been using the cheapest Vass waders for the past 3/4 years and they have been great, I even spent a full day in the water helping out at my local lake with no issues.

Ollyskins waders from future fishing. They are great. Cheap and roll up easy.

Try a company called Nitehawk, they are stockists for Michigan who do decent chest waders:

I've got a pair and used them for 3 years so far with no problems, other than once stepping in a bit deep...

Fell in a carp feeding hole that had silted back up.

Not the cheapest but if any of the bigger gentlemen on the forum struggle with standard wader sizes, then Snowbee do a FB - "Fuller Body" (or is that Fat Ba****d?) option in their ranges.

Although I'd recommend ordering a full shoe size bigger that what you are.

They also roll/fold down nicely so you can step into them and then pull the upper up.


Hope they work for you Mate.
I've always found Nitehawk delivery pretty good as well, if they say 5 day delivery, it's normally 3. I use them if I need to get combat boots and my armed forces mates are not about
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
