The last three years I have gone back to using PVC-waders for most of my flyfishing and restoration on the local waters. There are both pros and cons with them.

Oh yeah, I always have a pair of hip boots. They fill the bill for small stream fishing.

Have not worn chest waders in years, waist waders are just far more comfortable, easy to maneuver.

Hi Thank you for this very useful advices. 
Following them I just bought my 1st Waders. 
I feel very confortable in it but I realised that when I sit down then the waders blow up with air and the air stuck in my legs. Is it normal? or is there a tip to remove it or avoid it?
Thanks a lot.

the fishing costumes are very good, safer, the fishing spots are extraordinarily beautiful...

[jicalzad]

don't all waders leak eventually?

[vaughnmiller]

Once you try zippered waders, there is no turning back

[olympiawashdrummer]

I need some thing that will work in a float tube, and not leak after 7 outings

Once in the water all the breathability goes out the window.

Your explanation seems to imply that waders are made from Gore Tex. Gore text is a membrane material that is covered on the inside by another material. Nylon, polyester, etc. I could be wrong, but I’m not sure waders have multiple layers of goretex, but rather multiple layers of another material to them from punctures.

You have Wading pants, in 99% all chest waders. That's why the clips are he-she to make a belt. Not the same, but days go from hot, too cold and wet.

[glenndotter]

Always see people wearing waders standing where they should be fishing. Been wearing waist highs for years

[glenndotter]

Been wearing hippies and wading pants for years. No more chest waders most waters unless huge water. Wading pants will suffice and are way easier when you need to see mother nature. And wading pants and hippies are far cheaper.

Pro tip… my waders leak but the water stays warm against my skin lol

[Mr_Web]

Dude, you need to learn how to read the teleprompter in a natural way... At least blink once in a while 😂

The best waders are the cheapest ones. You are not making fashion statement to the fish. Breathability is overrated. What is important is that one should go through thorns, poison oak and bush like a German tank. Waders should not last more than 2 seasons. Booted waders are the best knowing that if you are sunk into silt up to the knees, the next fishing hole will provide the full wash.
