Chest models (regular and zip-front)
The chest waders feature a unique front pocket design - rather than the usual stitched pockets where stitching penetrates the body material and has has to be sealed on the inside, an outer 'gasket' is heat welded to the front to hold the pocket in place.
Waist model
The trouser style waist wader is fitted with an adjustable webbing waist-belt, two front pockets and the double layer seat and articulated knee pads provide additional wear resistance where it’s needed most. Ideal for shallow wading, or just kneeling on the river bank, they are also becoming increasingly popular for boat fishing when teamed up with lightweight Neoprene flats boots.
Zip models (chest and waist)
The water-tight front zip was originally developed by Swiss manufacturers Riri for the diving industry and is pressure tested to 1.7 bar - now that's deep wading!
Models: Chest, Thigh, Chest with Zip, Waist with Zip (all stockingfoot)
Sizes: Small to XX Large
Full body size (15% larger than the regular size) available in the Chest with Zip model in XL only
