Following on from the 'Chinese reels' what about these breathable waders? £55 delivered, 3 layer breathable material, taped seams etc. Watch out for the sizing though, I'm a medium but in China I'm an xxl :shock: :lol:

In the item specific section it states
Material: neoprene
but goes on to describe breathable material. I am confused. :roll: Suppose it is worth a punt can't be any worse than what is already on offer at 3/4 times the price. Still returns would be a problem & you will have to pay the postage.
Maybe not
Tight Lines
Personally wouldn't touch anything like that with a bargepole, I'm pretty rough on my waders tho with the type of fishing I do, climbing through trees and bushes and srambling over rocks etc.
One session up the burn and they would be in a bag on their way to diver dave.
There again they might be coming from a factory that makes 75% of the waders sold in the UK :shock: :shock:
Not buying them but I am tempted just to see the difference, not sure there would be that much compared to most brands. If they leaked after a season (they will :roll: ) it would be easier to take on the chin.

quite possibly. that doesn't mean they're made with the same materials & the same quality control.
we manufacture stuff for the offshore industry; would
you be happy if i supplied you with something made from steel that was only tested to +20c conditions when you really needed it tested to -40; load tested vs not load tested; welding just given a quick visual vs full Ultrasonic Testing..... ? we can do both. you can guess which is cheaper
