Has anyone got a review of the snowbee waders? I've seen some for a good price but can't find much about them. Cheers

I use Snowbee neoprenes and they are generally recognised as about the best on the market.
Some are quite slim fitting - so be careful if you are a well fed individual.
Their breathables are pretty decent too.

I've had a couple of pairs. One pair of PVC chesties that lasted really well, used quite heavily scrambling up and down banks game fishing and for sea fishing. I did have to make a couple of Aquasure repairs to the weld between boot and leg. Plenty of room in the body, overall a good buy for me. I've also got a very lightweight pair of thigh waders, they obviously won't take much abuse, but have done done their job fine.

Cheers guys might take a gamble on them, never owned a pair but they will definitely come in handy

Snowbee have a good rep but to throw a alternative have a nosey at the Kinetic X5. They're getting a lot of very good reviews from guys that rock hop coastal fishing and they're standing up well where the likes of Vass have failed. Might not be camo or carpy green though
See here, he does a follow up too on the X5 if you can find it, very impressive

Probably very good, but you'd have to budget for a pair of wading boots to go with them, maybe another £75. If you want to be able to slip them on quick to land a fish, or take a pic you'd be better off with a bootfoot wader.

Suppose it depends if your talking chest or waist, they do make boot waist waders.

Didn't get your reply at first, but after having a search for the Kinetic X5's I see what you mean.
It looks like they do bootfoot's in waist high but not chest.

Snowbees are very good, I had the 210D which is their mid range wader. Although I found them a very tight fitting on the calf and foot, so size up or get the “FB” version if you're a big bloke
