Quick take
A nylon-reinforced PVC hip wader with attached boot, waterproof taped seams, and cleated or felt sole for stream and river wading.
The Rana II is a bootfoot hip wader with a nylon-reinforced PVC upper and molded, non-insulated PVC boots with a cleated sole. Taped seams and a welded boot attachment keep the legs dry, and belt straps with quick-release buckles hold it up at the waist. It suits anglers who wade shallow streams, ponds and shorelines where hip height is enough.
Best for
- Freshwater stream and river wading up to the hips
- Anglers who want simpler hip waders over full chest waders
- Cleated sole for traction on slick rocks and boulders
Skip if
- You need full chest coverage for deep water or saltwater flats
- You prefer breathable waders for warm-weather fishing
Strengths
- Non-insulated PVC is lightweight and comfortable for moderate water temperatures
- Taped seams keep water out without need for repair or maintenance
- Quick-release locking buckles make putting on and taking off quick
Trade-offs
- Non-insulated PVC provides no warmth for cold-water fishing or winter
- Hip height limits wading depth and leaves chest exposed in deeper water
- Felt and cleated soles are maintenance-intensive and wear faster than rubber
Fishing fit
- Water
- Freshwater
- Saltwater
