Once again brilliant video love your channel the 2 of u are doing a brilliant job. On the part of cleaning waiders I hose mine down and also the boots and that's only I might move something that's dangerous from one river to the next.
Would be interested in a waist version of these, my rivers do not require that deep an approach, currently using a 2nd hand pair of Simms, to be fair no probs with leaks but they are SO narrow to get your foot into the bootee, it's like a wrestling match to get them on and off. £250 quid is a bargain fair play.
I'm not sure they make them in a waist wader bud, I just checked and couldn't see them. Interesting about the narrow boot on the Simms, they sound right up my street!
I recently bought a set of Vision Koski waist waders. I find chesties too hot and sweaty in summer. Nice broad bootee - I have wide feet and find many waders too narrow - a good fit (not too baggy) and comfortable to walk long distances in. They are a little higher than waist height (I guess they should be called stomach waders...) and quite a bit cheaper than Simms. I'm very happy with them so far.
Actually, washing is an important part of being able to maintain the breathability of the material. Not to mention that some mold & mildew manage to get in the material's structure and eventually causing microscopic damage. While I wouldn't worry about the UK being super hot and the breathability of waders, I'd worry about moulds which is certainly a very important and easy thing you've mentioned in your video (hand and dry the damn thing).
The poor sizing configurations are the only let down on these waders. I would love a pair and have tried on several pairs but unfortunately because I’m a 38 waist wychwood think I must be 7 foot tall lol. They do look bullet proof but I’m always forced into buying from that major wader manufacturer due to the great sizing choice. Great review
That major wader manufacturer were the worst breathable waders I have owned in 25 years of wearing them. They became porous in around half a season. My friend who bought the same pair got even less time out of them. Terrible things. The feet are good though. Try Taimen. Best I have ever owned.
@@raftonpounder6696 I agree I’ve had to send two pairs of Simms to diver Dave due to leaks. I have a couple of taiman jackets that are superb so I might give their waders ago at some point. A couple of my mates recently bought them as a bundle package with jacket mid layer top and cap for under £200 which is amazing value
@@garyadamson4844 yes they’re great value. I got a pair of waders sealed by Dave once. Never again. You might as well have been wearing PVC waders by the time he had made a mess of them. There was sealant everywhere! Granted they didn’t leak! Buy some Aquasure and treat any leaks you find yourself. At least you actually only treat the small pinhole instead of half the leg!
Nice review. Shame their wading boots don't last more than 6 weeks before completely falling apart. It put me right off their wading products. As for waders I can't see past vision products and always get them seam sealed from diver Dave. Totally bulletproof.
@@IBandAndyFishing very much so. I fish hard for salmon in some very remote and wild areas with plenty of thorns and gorse and their stuff is bulletproof. They’re the only breathable waders that haven’t let me down within a season. I have friends who wear their gear too and swear by it. Reasonably priced as well because you order directly from Poland. No middle man. And no, I don’t work for them!
Great wader for the price only 3 sizes in them thó only fault I have with them, don't get there boots really poor quality you will not get a season out of them,, waders are the business,,

Comprehensive review Andy, I have been using these for about three years and they are as good a wader as you will find anywhere.
I couldn't agree more Lindsay!
Really thorough review Thankyou, am in need of some new ones so this has helped make my mind up.
Thanks Jonny!
Very handy review Andy - wet knees on the Dove last week means these are in my list now…
Great review i really like the look and sound of those waders
Cheers Steve!
Great review again Andy! The only time my waders ever get a wash is when I fall over in the river or when I get caught out in a thunderstorm!🤣🎣
I'm pretty much the same bud, clean waders are for City boys!
Two years use and still going strong, great waders for the money
Great review, very helpful in choosing my next set of stockingfoot waders to replace a pair of leaking ones. Thanks.

Had two pairs of these now and they are fantastic. My first pair lasted 3 years and I’m out every Saturday. Fantastic value for money
I thought I'd seen you in them, decent piece of kit for the money!
Hi Andy how tall are you 😂 just want to know for sizing thank you

@@laurieharper1526 what sort of price are these Laurie?
@@nebraska39 Around £200. I got mine from Diver Dave.
I bought these at the beginning of the year with the boots for €250, so a great deal. No issues whatsoever and have been dry all year
How the holding up now mate ? 😂

Was the large size very tall

I've not seen their wading boots bud, and I must admit when I eventually go through these I might have a look at some Visions, maybe the Tools....
Taimen.
I've never been down that route, you rate their stuff?

You're the second person to say the boots aren't great - something for Wychwood to work on!
