  • Recommendations for big waders.

    I'm looking for a pair of neoprene chest waders to suit my bigger than ave frame. I'm 6'3" with a 40" waist and 52" chest and size 12 boot.

    Just bought a pair of sonik sk3 neoprene waders and when I tried them on its more like a wetsuit with wellies. Now sold to a lucky bargain seeking angler.

    I don't have a huge budget but can anyone point me to a piece of kit that might work for me. I tend to shop online as alnwick is quite a hike from civilization.

    I know that snowbee used to do the granite waders in FB,(fuller bodied), sizes. It might be worth having a look at their range.
    Also a lot of breathable wader manufacturers do king size, or large king, in their ranges so it may be worth looking at those.
    I have some Vision waders and they are good, they come in a lot of sizes too.

    Good luck, Ian

          Picked up some LC waders from a gent exactly same height n weight as me. Only used twice and a bargain at 20 quid. It's worth asking a few questions on ebay when a listing doesn't have much info.

          Great fit over my gear which was handy in the sleet today. Wanted neoprene tbh but a good fit is more important to me at the minute

          .Cheers for the recommendations.

            Vass Waders

            Try the vass waders.
            I'm 6ft 6", 19 stone, size 13 feet.
            There a big fit, go for the studded soles.
            You can get them in £100 range.
            They are rubber and not neoprene.
            I have the greys neoprene, which are a big fit, but I believe they have stopped making the greys waders.
