Waders denotes a waterproof boot or overalls extending from the foot to the thigh, the chest or even the neck. They are traditionally made from vulcanised rubber, but available in more modern PVC, neoprene and Gore-Tex variants.

The most durable breathable waders contain a mixture of waterproof materials, like polyurethane and ePTFE; and breathable waders, like nylon and polyester. There are several waders like this on the market, but they may come with a heftier price tag than waders made of rubber, neoprene, or canvas.

And you put a boot over those to make up the whole waiter. Now both boot foot and stock and foot waders have their pros and cons. And there are a lot of advantages to stocking foot waders.

SIMMS waders are all built from a durable breathable fabric. Whether that is GORE-TEX® or Toray®, the care that should be taken is the same. Waders should be dried after each use, both inside and out. Simms understands that certain situations do not allow for time to fully dry between uses.

The main and most obvious function of waders is to keep you dry even as you stand in a river or other body of water. With a range of material options available to you, such as polyester, nylon, and neoprene, you can find a wader that will keep you warm by blocking your skin from direct contact with cold water.

Simple, because waders keep you dry, comfortable, and on the water longer. These three things make you a better fisherman. If you're used to wearing jeans or work pants on the water, the first time you try a pair of waders will be a revelation.
