Savage Gear SG8 Chest Stocking Foot Waders

Savage Gear SG8 Chest Stockingfoot Waders

At Gerry’s Fishing, we know that serious anglers demand gear that works as hard as they do. The Savage Gear SG8 Chest Stockingfoot Waders are engineered for exactly that—the perfect relationship between all-day comfort and bomb-proof durability. Whether you’re tracking miles along the rugged coastline or wading deep into fast-flowing rivers, these premium waders are built to take the punishment of Mother Nature.

Thanks to the advanced DURATEX membrane and reinforced construction, the SG8 waders provide unparalleled breathable waterproofing. The upper section is reinforced with DURATEX ARMOUR HD, while the legs feature DURATEX ARMOUR SHIELD for maximum puncture and abrasion resistance. We highly recommend these for anglers who frequently kneel, crouch, or scramble over rough terrain to reach their perfect mark.

Product Details & Uses

The Savage Gear SG8 is designed to perform exceptionally well during intense sessions. The Air-Comfort suspender system helps distribute the weight evenly, radically reducing shoulder fatigue during long hikes. Complete with Comfort Zone integrated kneepads and an ergonomic cut, they deliver maximum freedom of movement. These waders are ideal for heavy-duty sea angling, winter predator fishing, and demanding coarse fishing situations where staying dry, warm, and highly mobile is critical.

Examples of Where to Use

• Coastal Rock Hopping: The DURATEX ARMOUR SHIELD legs easily handle the scrapes and bumps of scrambling over barnacle-covered rocks when targeting bass.

• River Wading for Salmon and Sea Trout: The ergonomic cut allows for easy movement through strong currents, while the integrated gravel guards keep debris out of your wading boots.

• Deep Winter Pike Fishing: The highly breathable DURATEX membrane prevents sweat buildup on long walks to remote lochs or drains, ensuring you stay warm and dry once static.

Savage Gear SG8 Size Guide

Savage Gear offers an incredible 10 different sizing configurations for the SG8 waders, including Short (S) and Long (L) leg variations, to ensure a custom “fits-like-a-glove” feel for every body type.

(Note: Always pair these stockingfoot waders with a reliable set of wading boots, matching your street shoe size or sizing up slightly for thicker thermal socks).

Pro Tip

From the Gerry’s Fishing Team:

Don’t over-tighten your wading belt! Fasten it securely enough to prevent water from rushing down if you take a tumble, but keep it loose enough to let the DURATEX membrane breathe properly and vent excess body heat from your lower half. After your session, always use the built-in drying loop to hang them upside down in a well-ventilated area to maximize their lifespan.

FAQs

Are the Savage Gear SG8 Waders fully waterproof?

Yes. They utilize a premium DURATEX WADING membrane and advanced seaming to provide complete, long-lasting waterproofing while allowing interior moisture to escape.

Do these waders have built-in boots?

No, these are stockingfoot waders, meaning they feature neoprene socks. You will need to purchase a separate pair of wading boots (such as the Savage Gear SG8 Cleated Wading Boots) to wear over them.

Are the knees reinforced for resting on the ground?

Absolutely. Not only are the legs reinforced with heavy-duty DURATEX ARMOUR SHIELD, but they also feature integrated Comfort Zone kneepads to protect you from sharp rocks and rough banks.

Can I store my phone in the waders?

Yes, the SG8 includes a clear, waterproof flip-out internal pocket that is perfect for keeping your phone and car keys completely dry and safe from the elements.
