Neoprene vs Breathable Waders 

Glad I watched this before buying any wader. Video explained everything you ever wanted to know about different waders making wader selection more informed. Learned a lot. Thanks for doing the video.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience about the waders. One of my friends invited me to go fishing and told me that I need a wader. I didn't even know there are 2 kinds of waders. On my mind I just go to Bass Pro Shop and buy one. Now since I watch your video, I know what I will buy. You guess it: the breathable one. Thank you so much for sharing.

Outstanding video...I was on the fence on neoprene vs. breathable and your detailed video helped make up my mind to buy breathable! Thanks!

Great video. I'm still using my 5mm Cabela's Neoprene Waders that are 30+ years old with no problems. But after watching this video, I think I'll make the change to breathable waders since with neoprene, there tight and form fitting and to add extra layers of clothing for more warmth from the water, it can get very tight and uncomfortable.

One point about waders with built in boots: they are never even close to as sure footed as a dedicated wading boot. Safety first!

One valid point is that with many if not most chest high breathable waders, is that you can pull them down to your waist and using the belt have a waist high wader.

Brilliant video great advice, i only wish i watched this first before buying neoprene, ... time for a re think on what type of wader Im after, i really like the breathable trouser option, as i never wade higher than my thighs, and would be more comfy .....

Neo is a great choice for those who like to shed some weight. Lol

I'm glad I watched this prior to buying neoprene

What surf jacket do you recommend? with the breathable waders! Thank you for the great information...

I appreciate it very much this was helpful

Very good video thanks for the info!

Good explanations! Sportsman's warehouse carries some of Aquaz breathable waders.

Can you recommend a company that makes custom fit waders? thanks

I bought three pair of Cadis for me and my boys couple years ago. We use them for jr duck hunts a couple times a year only. Two of the three waders failed at the crotch and are unrepairable. The tape on the seams were 1/2 inch wide and clearly not enough to hold them together. If you buy breathable waders look for a wide tape joint at the seams. The other problem with cadis is the boots cut through your skin and give a hell of an infection at the ankles with scars to prove it. Take your time to find the right wader .

Great video thanks

Easy to use. Was relatively easy to auger through 12” of ice.

I've had the same pair of stocking foot neoprene waders for over 25 years, I love them, when I wear them out, I'll get another pair.

Great video, thank you

Very informative thank you

Needed this 👍

I have a question. The breathable waders with no boots attached. Do you buy boots which somehow attach to the waders to keep dry?

I own a thick pear of Neoprene waders that I wear when duck hunting. They are great early and late in the season...and actually right on through winter for wading. I've worn them standing in water with an ambient temperature hovering around zero degrees and never got cold. Just the same, I wouldn't wear those same waders during the warm weather months, and I keep a pair of breathable waders. Like fishing poles and golf clubs...each wader has it's purpose!

excellent video!

I live and fish in western Washington, and neoprene works well from Oct-Apr. My first set was used neoprene, but they were heavy, and hot when the temp is above 50. Also, neoprene needs to dry out over night with a heater or the next morning they will be very cold putting on.

Wich one its though for facing spiky things like thorn,needle or other object that can damage the wears,answer please

Well what is a "breathable" wader made from? Rather than buy what is expensive and just hope, it would be nice to be a smart shopper and know materials.

I respect this guy's reporte. You made a sale today sportsman's

can i drown in it if i fall over.i had a chemical war suit but it damaged in the water as soon as my foot went through the schlam or mud with small stones it wripped it a npart i clean lakes

Has anything changed significantly during the last eight years?

I live in Alaska and would never go back to neoprene for fishing. Only people I see wearing them anymore are tourists and duck hunters.

i dont think water molecules are bigger in the liquid phase

COLD FEET >>>> If You are like me and You are ultra sensitive to cold water, any water below 55 degrees especially if any gets into your wading boots then get a wader with a built-in boot foot....Do NOT buy just a soft stocking foot pair of waders make sure they are the rubber boot foot that has a "felt" wading sole NOT just a rubber called calld "duck hunters" boot ...... You can buy the most expensive Simms G4 Guide waders and boots and still get ice cold water into Your boots on Your feet and most guys don't mind and they get used to it but NOT me.....I only use breathable waders and typical wading boots in very late spring & summer.....cheers

Türkçe konuş ne söylediğini bende anlayım.

I actually have to disagree with you if that one about neoprene waders a lot of East Coast northerners like myself Long Island boys use neoprene all the time if we're not using wetsuits the reason is neoprene was a lot tougher and it keeps you warm in a cold waters for striper fishing specially during the fall bass or early spring and unfortunate breathable waders don't give you that luxury
