Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Steve Oxley from Denver Angler. I'm going to show you some of the important things to look for when you're buying waders. The most comfortable and best waders on the market are stocking foot waders. So you have to, besides the wader, buy a boot that you put in after you've got the waders. Some of the important things when buying waders is make sure that you get them large enough, so that you can layer underneath for those cooler days. And large enough so you can get down on the ground and crawl under a fence or looking for something that you might have dropped on the ground. The best waders on the market now days are breathable waders. So that while you're out during the day, they keep you dry, but it allows them to breathe so you don't get overheated. Also another important thing in waders is, if they don't have a gravel guard attached, which goes over the top of the boot, it keeps gravel from getting in your boot, then you'll need to buy gravel guards in addition to the waders. Also make sure if you want, that it has some convenient pocket, pockets to carry some of the accessories, like sun screen and mosquito repellent. There are also waders that aren't chest high, but are pant waders. A lot of fishermen enjoy those now days. And those are the important things you look for when buying a wader."
