Default Chest Waders and Pee Valves...

Has anyone ever fitted a Pee Valve to chest waders? The type scuba divers use on dry suits. Having read a few past comments that zips on chest waders can be an issue with leakage, a pee valve would solve this problem, and could be a little more convenient!

Allegedly the 'RiRi' Waterproof zip - was designed specifically with this in mind by the Japanese a couple of years ago.

Whether it works is another matter.

Because I wear oversized neoprene Chest Waders I can even roll the things down and shoot over the top sitting in a float tube out on open water ,as it were ! And you have to remember - I failed the physical for Porn Videos several decades ago .

The likelihood is that you'd have even less to roll down !

Best wishes and don't drink so much

Cheers Steve, all comments are appreciated, but I haven't had a drink yet, and I'm sorry you failed the physical, it must have been hard, or not in your case!
If you can roll oversized neoprene down and still "shoot over the top", in a seated position, perhaps you should re-apply for that position. I believe we do have laws now against age discrimination....

You could always try this As I have no personal experience of using it I can't comment on its practicality, it would at least keep one leg warm

Left, right or middle or even off stump?
Perhaps I should have chosen April the 1st for my first post, or at least this post!
Believe it or not, it was a genuine question.

Believe it or not that was a genuine piece of equipment, even came with a cup type attachment for the ladies

A Google on zip front wagers found this.

Has anyone stopped to consider what these 'waders with pee valve' would look like? I have in mind something akin to a garden 'Hozelock' sticking out the front of my breathables. Like this ....

Now, I'm not a shy person or someone who's too concerned about how I'm perceived by others, however ..... I think I'd have to draw a line in the sand here. I can see this leading to a trend whereby the banks of our waters will be populated by people wearing strange clubbing gear from Camden Market and the John Norris catalogue having a new section for fetish wear.

They are a bit more discreet than that. If you want you can fit one yourself.

Get one here, scroll down page.

Halcyon Pee Valve for Drysuits

Fitting instructions here.

I don't fancy the thought of people peeing in the water especially if it is a drinking water supply or I am camped downstream
