Conquer the River in Comfort and Confidence: Top-Quality Fishing Waders & Chest Waders

As a trusted source for all things fly fishing in the Scottish Borders, we understand the importance of staying dry, warm and comfortable when wading through Scotland’s magnificent rivers. That’s why we offer a meticulously curated selection of premium fishing waders, designed to keep you focused on the catch, not the conditions.

Chest Waders vs. Waders: Choosing the Right Gear for Your Needs

• Chest Waders: Opt for chest waders if you plan on venturing deeper into the water/. Ideal for most river fishing where wading above hip height or navigating powerful currents is often necessary . Our chest waders provide complete waterproof protection from chest to toe, ensuring you stay dry and warm throughout your fishing adventure.
• Waders: Waders, also known as hip waders, are ideal for shallower waters or situations where wading deeper isn’t necessary. They offer excellent mobility and are often lighter than chest waders, making them perfect for long treks along the bank.

Unveiling the Features of High-Performance Waders

At Fin & Game, we stock waders from renowned brands known for their dedication to quality and innovation. Here are some key features you can expect to find in our collection:

• Waterproof & Breathable Materials: Crafted from high-grade materials like breathable wader fabric or durable PVC, our waders offer exceptional protection against the elements while allowing moisture vapour to escape, keeping you dry and comfortable all day long.
• Seamless Construction: Look for waders with strategically placed seams that are double-stitched and sealed for ultimate waterproof integrity. This minimises the risk of leaks, ensuring you stay completely dry even in the most demanding fishing conditions.
• Boot Options: Choose from wader options featuring integrated felt or cleated rubber boots for superior traction on slippery rocks and uneven riverbeds. Many waders come with stockingfoot options, allowing you to pair them with your favourite wading boots for a customised fit.
• Comfort & Functionality: Many waders incorporate features like adjustable suspenders, articulated knees for ease of movement, and internal pockets for storing essential fly fishing gear. This ensures you can cast, wade, and navigate the river with optimal comfort and efficiency.
