Waders
Fly Fishing Waders — Stockingfoot, Bootfoot, Waist & Hip Options
Shop waders from Simms, Patagonia, Orvis and Paramount Outdoors, including men's, women's and kids' options. Compare chest, waist and hip styles, then check whether the model uses stockingfeet with separate wading boots or attached boots.
Choosing Waders for Fit and Use
Use the model's size chart to compare inseam, chest or waist measurements and foot size, allowing room for your fishing layers. Check fabric construction, seams, pockets and entry style in the product details. Fishing bibs and layering pants also appear in this collection; check the product type before choosing gear for wading.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I find a wader leak?
Follow the manufacturer's leak-testing instructions for your exact wader material and model. Start with a visual check for damage and consult the brand's repair service if the cause is unclear. Use only the repair materials and procedure the manufacturer recommends.
Q: What is DWR treatment and why does it matter for waders?
Durable water repellent treatment helps water bead on the outer fabric. Follow the care label and manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and any renewal treatment. Restoring surface beading does not repair holes or leaking seams.
