Default Snowbee Granite Neoprene Waders

Anybody have a pair of the above or know what they are like ?
I am thinking of getting a pair.

The other question is what type of sole might be best, cleated/studded or felt. I will not be fishing rivers, mainly sea and the occasional hill loch in Scotland when on my hols.

Many thanks.

Dave

Havnt got the granite version. However got a pair of the 4mm neoprene snowbee waders in their spring sale and they have been great. Have spent the day knacker deep in my local ressie and been warm and dry. Well worth giving them a ring as you can get some great bargians in their clearance sales. Mine were 90 quid reduced to under 40

They are fine, fit well and better put together than similar priced effforts. Moulded sole with cleats give reasonable grip, the cleats wear quite quickly but just screw some more in between the originals.

Could be a hard going heading to hill lochs in them. Breathables ?

In most hill lochs fish lie very close to the margins or drop off areas so no need to charge in, and others are dodgy for wading. Waste or thigh waders (even good boots) might be enough.
The smaller hill lochs will heat up as the year progresses so your knackers are safe .
