Quick take
A breathable chest wader with German TiZip waterproof zipper front for easier on and off, plus ample pocket storage for fly boxes.
This zip-front stockingfoot chest wader pairs a waterproof front zipper with a four-ply nylon upper and reinforced lower legs. The zipper makes getting in and out easier and lets you vent heat when it warms up. Neoprene booties with gravel guards are built in, so it pairs with wading shoes for streams and rivers. Chest pockets hold fly boxes and keep hands warm.
