Default Breathable Waders - Bison

Just wondered if anyone has some of the Bison breathable waders? How are you finding them? Any issues? Do they come with guarantee?

I have taken a look at them on the web and they seem like good value, but the only thing I am stuck on is what size I would be for the waders and boots?

My shoe size is size 8, running shoe size 9, walking boot size 9. Shirt size 16" approx. Sometime 15½ and sometimes 16½". I think my inside leg is only 29".

Hi John, a friend has a pair, has had them for ages and abuses them.
Comes off the river, chucks them in the boot and leaves them there till the following week.
He hasn't had one problem with them.
They look well made to me, I have had the Bison boots and they were also good for the price.
I would think a medium will do for you, your collar size isn't really an issue here.

As I said John the Bison ones at £34.99 are great value.
Someone on Ebay was doing the lot, waders boots and a wading staff for under £100.
Have a search.
