Breathable Waders?

At the suggestion of various members and given the magazines will run a mile from criticising a piece of kit, here is your chance to tell us what you really think about a rod, reel, line, lure... keep it legal please!

Breathable Waders?

#1 Post by Dave »

I'm thinking of picking myself up a pair of breathable chest waders at the Angling Expo at the weekend and I'm just looking for any recommendations or advice. I've just been looking at the [url=http://www.greysfishing.com/index.php?if=view&pid=203]Greys Grx waders[/url], anyone have any experience with them, good or bad? Also cleated or felt soles?

Don't buy them if you have the aweful habbit of kneeling on the sand to re-bait. I tend to do this a lot when fishing comps. If you have this habbit and still wan't breatheables, look at the leeda brand. The have neoprene stiched into the knees and a$$ sections to help with wear. If you are normal and use a chair or seat box, then you will have no hassle.

I hadn't thought about that, although I'm mainly going to use them plugging for bass and possibly a bit of fly fishing, so it shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Picked up the Grey's Grx waders at the show today, actually they worked a little cheaper than I expected, €210 including the boots from Eurotackle. They look like they'll do the job, just need to do a bit of fishing now so I can test them out.

They'll be perfect for plugging and flyfishing. Be careful where you park your butt when your having a rest. They don't like barnacles and sharp rocks. :wink:
