Another wader thread i'm afraid

[kingfisher]

I will shortly be looking for waders again, and although I have had good service from my wychwood ones, was wondering what else was out there that is (as) cheap and reliable etc.

I believe that Rapala do an el cheapo waders and wondered if anyone had any experience/views of these or ANO.

Before anyone says you get what you pay for, not with waders you don't. Well some times perhaps

Don`t buy Orvis is all I can say!

[perthshirefisher]

Grey's GRX are a good sturdy pair of waders, i know of a place doing a sale on them too.

[dlks151]

Greys GRX have given good service, and at a reasonable price, I would definitely consider again when it comes to replacing.

Interesting, and what I wanted to hear. I have yet to try my re-glued foot joins but I like the look of those Rap waders and there not expensive, even If I only get 2-3 years out of them.

What that plastic fetish gear ;D

Rapala Aqualex stocking foot. I have had them one season, so far no probs. I can only recomend them. But if you can get by with a wee repair job, that's the way to go. Get your monies worth a year is not enough.
By the way they do the Rapala's in XXL's ;D

Going off you quickly Graham ;D I can still get into a XL yet by a mile and its only the size of my feer that I need to buy a XL at that, smart erse

Funny you should say you like the Rapala waders! recently I nipped into a tackle dealers who stock them and I met a guy in there who said that I should not touch them with a barge pole as they have had many returned etc. Pity that as they looked good for the money.

I will give my glue saturated waders one more outing to redeem them selves for all the cash spent on glue. In fact I can hardly bent with them now!!!

I can recommend the Simms G4 Guide waders. They are expensive but worth every penny. I must add that Simms after sale care is outstanding. After 2 years and weekly usage i had to send them in to get a few minor repairs. They just gave me a brand new pair instead (Thanks Ron) worth £520 approx. I can recommend the Helmsdale Company where Ron gives great deals and advice.
