Best Chest Waders?

That's all that needs to be asked really..... (sorry - not clear enough - in your opinions - which are the ones to go for?)

Great reports coming through - enjoyed reading them but nothing to add re. my own exploits (so far). Had to miss out on the fishing this weekend - hope to 'catch' up later.

Whats your budget.Lidls £14 or Simms £500+ and lots in between.
Id go for Scierra or Orvis personally.
Cheers

I second bassfly's words. Scierra waders can be bought for around £70. I've had my present pair for 5 years and they are still going strong. Orvis are more expensive but good quality with a guarantee to match.

Thanks for your replies chaps - anything is better than the flip flops and shorts I have at present! Well it is the summer. That's dedication (or lunacy) for you! Do you know a cheap source for these waders? Rich

I have had a pair of 'LE CHAMEAU PRO' for the last 5 years and in my job (Fish farmer) they get a lot of stick no the cheapest they cost me 350€ then but you get what you pay for.
