UNISPONEOPRENE BOOTFOOT CHEST WADER
T**E
Good quality waders, but watch the sizing is you are larger
used these a few times now and overall, they’ve performed well. The material feels solid but not heavy, so they don’t weigh you down like some cheaper pairs. They’re warm enough for colder conditions, and the comfort level is surprisingly good considering the thickness. Didn’t get any leaks or weird seams, which is always a concern with waders.Only real issue I had was the sizing. They come up snug, especially around the chest and boots, so definitely worth going up a size if you’re in between or plan on wearing thicker layers underneath. The boot section fits fine length-wise but can feel tight depending on your socks.They’re not cheap, and you can feel that when buying them, but they do seem well made and should last a while. If you’re after something that’s light, comfy and doesn’t feel like you’re wrapped in a bin bag, these are worth considering — just double check your size before ordering.

Decent waders
I’ve used these neoprene waders on a couple of fishing trips now, and overall, they’ve held up well. The material feels sturdy but not overly heavy, and they provide good warmth when the water is cold. The boots are comfortable and have a solid grip, which is really helpful when moving around on rocks or uneven surfaces. My feet felt a bit restricted in the boots, but maybe that was just the thick socks I had on as well. Trying them on at home with no socks, they still felt snug width-wise, but again, I have wide feet so it might just be me. The practical details like reinforced knees, multiple pockets, D rings and adjustable straps make a difference when you’re out for long periods. The storage bag is a decent size so no fighting when packing them away, and it includes a repair kit too.Sizing is something to keep in mind. The fit is quite snug around the chest and boots, so if you’re unsure or plan to wear thick socks or extra layers, it’s a good idea to size up. At first, I found them a bit tight, but after adjusting the straps, they felt much more comfortable. While these waders are heavier than some others I’ve tried, the weight is well balanced and doesn’t become tiring during use.They’re definitely an investment at £175 when ordered, but the quality seems to justify the price. They feel well put together, so I expect them to last for many fishing seasons. If you’re looking for waders that keep you dry and warm without feeling restrictive, these are worth considering. Just make sure to check your size carefully before ordering, and consider going a 1/2 size higher with the boots if you have big feet!

Comfortable, easy on/off and not overly heavy
Size 8.5It's been many years since I've been fishing and I've decided to get back into it again. As such, I'm in the process of refreshing all of my tackle and stuff.I didn't have anything like this previously, so this is the first chest waders I've had, so nothing to compare against. They came in a handy drawstring bag, which is a decent size. Meaning it is east to get them in and out. You're certainly not forcing them back into it.I'm just under 5ft 10”, shoe size 8.5-9 and about 14st 6lb. I found it very easy to put these on and they weren't tight in any place. Slipping my feet in & out of the boots was simple to do. There was space at the front of my toes and in the width - they weren't tight either. You can adjust the shoulders straps and there's a separate belt included.I found them very comfortable, although I've not had the opportunity yet, to take them out for a fishing trip and prolonged wear. I can't see a reason why they wouldn't be. They also look and feel like they're going to be nice and warm. There's a decent sized, high level pocket for holding things, which has a velcro flap. That should keep things nice and dry. Boots are not particularly weighty and have a decent tread on them.Unfortunately, I'm having to submit this review prior to test driving them, so to speak. However, I'm really pleased with them so far. They're easy to get on/off, the size is perfect for me, the neoprene material is comfortable & not overly heavy and the camo design is really smart.As to the price. £175 does seem a lot of money to me, but I don't have anything to compare these against in terms of quality and durability. It also depends on how much wear you're going to get out of them. Given the amount of fishing I used to do, particularly in the winter months when it was freezing cold, these would've been a godsend.I hope you found this review and the photos helpful. Thanks for reading

High quality, comfortable neoprene waders
I've never owned a pair of waders, so this was a new experience for me. I have to say I am seriously impressed with the quality of these for the money. The included boots are high quality and comfortable with decent-quality soles. Those alone would cost you at least 50% of the asking price of the full wader set.The waders are extremely comfortable and very adjustable. I'm 183cm (5ft 11.5")and these are plenty big enough for me, in fact, I have them adjusted down almost to the shortest size. I would expect these to be suitable for someone another 4 - 5 inches taller than me. The supplied belt keeps everything nice and snug, whilst allowing lots of room for additional clothing or an expanded waistline!The waterproofing works well and keeps me warm and dry. The set is quite heavy, but not excessively so and I didn't find wearing them especially fatiguing.
