Shakespeare rubber thigh waders are pretty reliable.at a great price.Diawa Neoprene thigh waders have a leg sizing issue(very narrow)Ocean rubber are back on the go.recommended.
Ron Thompson,forget it.
snowbee.very good.But more costly.

Check out the Wychwood site Duncan, they did make them, very well priced and nice quality, not sure if they still do.

I think the ocean rubber version are hard to beat for the money. My old man swears by them for hard wearing, durable water tight waders.

I've tried all-rubber thigh waders, and find them quite uncomfortable. You sweat more in them, and the rubber tends to 'dig' into the backs of your knees when you bend your legs.

I now have a pair of Behr Lightweight waders. Rubber boots, nylon uppers.
They seem to be well made, and only cost about 25 quid.

Upon close inspection (of the waders, you juvenile!) I believe those are LaCrosse brand. Which are excellent. They're very soft and supple, yet surprisingly firm and resilient. And they respond very well to cold water. I'd get my hands on a pair like those at the earliest opportunity. Again, just to clarify, I'm talking about the waders. Obviously.
