Mens Breathable Stockingfoot Waders
Know before you buy
Yes, the breathable polyester construction makes them comfortable for active days. However, because they are built for durability with reinforced knees and shins, they are slightly heavier than ultralight models, so keep that in mind if you are covering significant mileage.
Yes, these are stockingfoot waders, which means they feature neoprene booties designed to be worn inside a separate pair of wading boots. They are not designed to be worn alone.
The fleece-lined hand-warming pocket is excellent for taking the chill off your hands between casts. It is a great feature for shoulder-season fishing when the air temperature is low, though it won't replace a dedicated pair of gloves in freezing conditions.
Double-taped seams provide an extra layer of security against leaks in the highest-stress area of the wader. This construction method significantly increases the longevity of the booties, which are typically the first part of a wader to fail.
Yes, the waders include an internal flip-out pocket and a zippered top-entry pocket. These are secure enough for small essentials, but we always recommend using a waterproof dry bag or pouch inside the pocket for electronics to ensure complete protection.
The integrated gravel guards feature built-in lace hooks. You simply pull the guard down over your wading boot and hook it onto your laces to prevent debris and sand from getting inside your boots while you wade.
