Try Sonic as I'm sure their "BUM" bits are neoprene!

I have used these for shooting for a few years now and most of my hunting is on all fours. I also fish in them if on the bank in the rain.

Not a sign of a leak yet...........

Hi Loughleneirl, if most of your fishing is boat then oilskins are the only way to keep your bum dry. Sitting in a boat seat puddle all day, all the modern waterproofs let the wet in after a while, that is why sea fisherman only use oilskin. Hope this helps.
Billy.

Some hunting jackets come with a seat flap.

Might be something to look into.

Breathable waders seem to do the trick.I am using a pair of Snowbee waist waders (that are no longer good for wading) that are super comfy 'and' keep me dry.

I am another breatable wader man in a boat ,
combined with a Sparton pile comforter I have not had a wet bum for a long time .
The pile comforter is a scooter tyre covered in mesh ,softens those seats and water does not pool under the contact area .
