Quick take
Nylon-reinforced PVC hip waders with welded bootfoot and tapered seams for waterproof, comfortable wading.
This hip wader pairs a nylon-reinforced PVC upper with molded, non-insulated PVC boots attached at the foot, with a cleated or felt outsole depending on the version. Taped seams, a welded boot attachment and adjustable poly-webbing belt leashes with quick-release buckles round out the build. It suits anglers who wade shallow streams, ponds and shorelines and want a simple bootfoot wader that skips the separate boots.
