Waist-high waders, and a genuinely underrated purchase. Same 4-layer Toray QuadraLam shell as the Freestone chest waders, cut as a pant — far less bulk, dramatically cooler, and easier to move in.
Who actually wants these. Anyone who fishes summer, wades below the waist most of the time, hikes to their water, or fishes from a boat. Chest waders in July are a sweat box, and most of us are wading knee to thigh deep anyway. A lot of anglers who buy pant waders end up reaching for them more than they expected.
Features
- 4-layer Toray QuadraLam — the same fabric as the Freestone chest wader, not a lighter version
- Waist-high cut with belt
- Pockets for the essentials
- Anatomically engineered neoprene stockingfeet
- Pairs with any stockingfoot wading boot
Current pricing is on the selector above.
The obvious caution: there is no upper. Step into a hole and you get wet. On rivers where you routinely wade deep, or in spring runoff, chest waders are the right call and we stock the full Freestone and G3 Guide lines. Many anglers own both and choose by season.
Wear a belt, always. That is true of chest waders and it is true here.
Sizing: the bootie size is built into the wader size the way it is across the Simms line — “M 9-11” is a medium with a 9–11 bootie. Get the bootie right and your wading boots fit; get it wrong and they never will. Call 970-964-9991 or stop by and we will measure you.
Warranty: 60 days no questions asked on leaks, free repairs through the first year, then a flat fee covering evaluation, repair, testing, and return shipping. Bring them in and we will start the claim.
