Orvis sizing is simpler than most. Unlike Simms and Patagonia, which use multi-letter codes that fold in bootie size and girth, Orvis runs plain S/M/L/XL. Easier to order — but it also means the bootie comes along with the body size rather than being chosen separately. If you have larger or smaller feet than your frame suggests, talk to us first, because that is exactly where this simpler system falls down.
Also stocked: if you want more wader, the Patagonia Women's Swiftcurrent Traverse and the Simms Women's Freestone are both on our site, and both are cut on genuine women's patterns rather than scaled from men's. We are happy to tell you honestly where the extra money goes and whether it is worth it for how you fish.
Get measured. Women's waders are the hardest thing in this shop to buy online — fit varies more than men's and the sizing vocabulary differs by brand. Call 970-964-9991 or come by and we will measure you properly and order the right size the first time.
Guarantee: covered by Orvis's guarantee. Bring them to the shop and we will start the claim rather than sending you to a call center.
