Excellent VFM Andrew, I have the boots and a few others on here, and I can't wear them out, I have the Orvis waders, but a friend has the Bison chest waders, and he has had no problems at all.

seem to get good reviews and that mate so you should get yourself a pair. Remember though orvis do a lifetime gaurantee on all their waders incase of a seepage but have heard mixed reviews from great to very very poor.
I just ordered a pair of scierra aqautex breathable boot-foot waders for £40 but they only came in a 6/7 which will last me the season i hope !!!
Hope they do well for you mate

Bison Boots as recommended by Mr, Trout. I have a pair! You won't regret buying a pair; but, buy one size bigger than your shoe size!!

You, were seen out with me last June Jeff.
Still can't work out what that is in your avatar.

Does anyone know if Bison have their own website?
I've found mention of some of their products through some resellers, but nothing for the manufacturers.

I'm pretty sure Bison is imported exclusively from China by Fishing Mad in Newmills Lanarkshire. Scotland.
