Fishing Waders at Gerrys Fishing

At Gerrys Fishing we know waders are essential kit for anyone who wants to get closer to the fish in comfort and safety. Our wader range covers chest waders, waist and thigh waders, neoprene and breathable stockingfoot options, plus wading boots and accessories so you can tackle UK rivers, estuaries and coastal marks with confidence.

What we stock and why it matters

We stock breathable stockingfoot waders for long days and neoprene waders for cold conditions, plus bootfoot options for convenience and chest waders for deeper water. Quality matters: breathable fabrics keep you comfortable, neoprene gives insulation in winter, and reinforced knees and seams extend life on rough ground. We also offer wader combos and hangers to store kit correctly and protect neoprene and breathable membranes.

How to choose the right waders

Choosing the right wader depends on where and when you fish. For long summer sessions and walking over rough ground choose breathable stockingfoot waders with separate wading boots; for cold winter sessions or rock hopping neoprene chest waders give warmth and durability. If you need quick on/off convenience, bootfoot waders are a practical choice. Fit, gaiter style and sole type (studded or non‑studded) are important for safety and comfort.

Care and practical tips from Gerrys Fishing

• Try before you buy where possible and check sizing guides for chest height and boot size.
• Rinse and dry: always rinse waders in fresh water after salt or muddy sessions and dry thoroughly to protect seams and membranes.
• Repair kits and spare seals: carry a small repair kit for punctures and check seals regularly on neoprene models.
  These simple steps keep your waders performing season after season and reduce the chance of cold, wet sessions.
