Default Hardware or Klobba Waders?

I don't have much cash but I need to get a pair of waders. I was looking at the Hardware nylon waders (£40 for waist and £50 for chest) and the Klobba nylon waders (£25 for chest). I know they are not breathable but I don't think I can afford breathable waders right now. I just want to get a pair that is durable and leak proof.

I was wondering if anyone has experience with these waders?

Maybe try popping into Craftye Fisherman.

I got my neoprene chest waders from there couple of years back.
Only cost £45 and there was no delivery to worry about

Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out tomorrow. What brand waders did you get from them? Have you been there recently? I am wondering if the prices may have changed.

If you're going for nylon then to be honest you may as well get cheapest going and it doesn't matter if you trash them or when you come to replace them. In summer you do sweat buckets in them when walking (so don't wear jeans or heavy trews underneath) but I managed with some (Snowbee ones) for a couple of seasons, same reason as you, certainly better than nothing. When it was really hot and I had a long walk I just carried them and put them on when I started fishing.

Ok so I am starting to lean toward getting neoprene waders for the durablity and I found a pair of Daiwa neoprene waders for a good price. I was wondering what would be better, Daiwa neoprene waders or Bison neoprene waders?
