Default Waders for a short round bloke?

hello All,
I'm busy looking to purchase some breathable waders, being a medium height 5' 7" and stocky, beer belly kind've of fella was wondering if anyone had acquired a decent fitting pair, The main trouble seems to be leg length...
being a 30" inside leg looking for waders that fit.
Any info would be just grand.
Thanks the rotund sixo

Go and see Grommit. I'm a very similar shape to you and bought a pair of Snowbees from him a while back that fit a treat.

thanks for the quick responce lads....
Hi Grommit, I have used your shop many times, purchasing some excellent greys neoprenes from you that are great for the sea fishing in winter.At the moment I'm in Indonesia but will be back in Northumberland hopefully early June. I have size 8 feet and 44-46 chest, so if you have something in mind that would be a great help. I also require some other items so maybe when I'm back you could help me with those too?
Thanks from the sixo

Treat yourself to a pair of Simms.
They do a short fitting right up to XXL short

Default pvc or breathables

Im new to this site, but i have been asking what are the best breathables.I cant afford to gamble £100+ for something that doesnt do what it says on the label .My old rubber chest waders leeked again after another bodge,I needed some chest waders desprately and saw shakespeare do waist waders in pvc.I called in at my local tackle shop and he tryed to sell me £6O and £150 chest waders.He had a pair of the shakespeare that i was after ,they were size 11 ,i am size 10 .I tried them on in the shop and with extra socks are perfect .I gave £21 for my new waders and im exactly the same measurments as the writer .Leg size is ok the body goes up to my chest they have braces to hold them up .The elastic waistband will have to go . I walked and waded in them the other day they are light and comfortable.My trousers were damp with perspiration ,but i am really happy with my new chest waders £21 pound well spent .PB
