Live2fish85 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 Hi everyone I am looking for a place to get a good pair of chest waders for a decent price I have looked around and the only place I have really been able to find them is on BPS and I'd rather find another store if I can before going there. I want to get Neoprene ones so if anyone has any thoughts it would be great. Thanks. Chris.

Live2fish85 Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Posted April 29, 2011 Darn that would have been perfect. I will do that and if anyone else knows any store I'm still open for ideas. Thanks Rod Caster. Chris.
kickingfrog Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 CTC has a couple of options in this weeks flyer. Sale starts Friday.
skeeter Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 Lebarons has them. I bought mine last fall for $65. Caddis Neoprene stocking foot. Water proof and very warm. Then I bought a pair of regular hiking boots from walmart for $25 to go with them.
Live2fish85 Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Posted April 29, 2011 Awesome thanks guys I am going to check both out right now. Chris.
skeeter Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 It was a special they had on last year, but if they have any left you might get the deal, doesnt hurt to call them and ask.
GBW Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) Wait for a sale at Canadian Tire... they were 60 or 70 bucks a couple weeks ago. I got those ones as a back up as my good ones are up at the cottage. as a whole they are ok but the straps to keep them up suck! Edited April 29, 2011 by GBW
Live2fish85 Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Posted April 29, 2011 I see Canadian Tire has a pair of chest waders on for 35 bucks so for now I will just get them and dress warm underneath lol. I didn't see any on sale at Lebarons and I want to make sure I'm getting a good pair if they are neoprene.

I didn't see any on sale at Lebarons and I want to make sure I'm getting a good pair if they are neoprene. better get going as that sale price ends tonight when the store closes. EDIT: PS, those are the ones I got as back up for taking the dock out in the fall Edited April 29, 2011 by GBW

I didn't see any on sale at Lebarons and I want to make sure I'm getting a good pair if they are neoprene. I have those rubber ones... bought them 3 years ago and they still work fine. VERY uncomfortable in cold temps though, it's like walking inside hard plastic packaging. Wearing thick socks and thermal underwear helps. ...and dont use Skeeter's thermometer method with them hahaha
GBW Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 Thanks I just called my wife to stop and get them on the way home since she has the van. And skeeter thanks I'm to give it a shot never hurts to call and see thanks everyone, I appreciate the help. Chris Good luck Chris. AS and FYI, I wear size 10 Airwalk's (shoes) and I needed a smaller wadder yet my BUM Equip. winter boots are and 11?
Live2fish85 Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) Lol thanks. I have a pair up at my parents of the rubber one and I let my dad use them to put the stairs in and out and the water line and I know what you mean they are rough in cold water, But they are garbage now as my dad tore a hole in the crouch last year and I found out the hard way it was like skeeters thermometer lol. Not a pleasent thing I tell you jump in off of the break wall and walk out a bit and find out theres a nice hole. We all had a good laugh around the fire with some cold ones after.

Live2fish85 Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Posted April 29, 2011 Thanks GBW my wife was just calling to see what size and I just read this I am the same size a 10 for shoes so I went with a nine good thing you posted that or I would have some huge boots to fill.
GBW Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) Thanks GBW my wife was just calling to see what size and I just read this I am the same size a 10 for shoes so I went with a nine good thing you posted that or I would have some huge boots to fill. and the good news is you can exchange them for what's in stock after the sale if they don't fit well.... EDIT: PS, I didn't see any 1/2 sizes. Edited April 29, 2011 by GBW
Live2fish85 Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Posted April 29, 2011 My wife said the same that they don't have half sizes so I just went with the 9 and that's good to hear I may have to exchange them for another pair lol.
GBW Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 My wife said the same that they don't have half sizes so I just went with the 9 and that's good to hear I may have to exchange them for another pair lol. Better safe and get the sale price and use them for your misc. times and current stuff while you source a better set for the future. And in the end, it still may cost less with both sets...
Live2fish85 Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Posted April 29, 2011 Yea exactly most likely I won't return them I will just wait until I find a good price on Neoprene ones and let my dad have these ones. Seeing as he doesn't have a pair anymore lol.
GBW Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 I wasn't saying to return them as they are good for the misc. times you need to get in the water for that price. you now have more time to find what you want and find them on sale and still have something to use. and you can go back and get the right size if they don't fit after the sale.
Live2fish85 Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Posted April 29, 2011 No I know I was just being a smart at first and thought I would make it known that I was just joking lol. I would rather have a back up pair like you were saying any ways then I won't be in the predicament I am now lol. I am definitly going to keep my eyes open for a pair of Neoprene ones I have read alot of reviews on the bass pro shop but I don't know if the people just say thing for the sake of complaining or what do you have any brands that you have had luck with or I should stick to. I've seen mixed reveiws about White River and RedHead any thoughts.
GBW Posted April 29, 2011 Report Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) I have a set of the BPS ones now they are not neoprene, my next set will be neoprene. young_one got a great deal on some at BPS and I used them and they were nice. I just don't know what model # they were to help. Edited April 29, 2011 by GBW
Live2fish85 Posted April 29, 2011 Author Report Posted April 29, 2011 Ok thanks. I am just looking for something that will keep me warm and alst a bit. I have always been a bass and walleye fisherman plus perch and crappie but now I am dying to get out more and I want to get into trout fishing as I can go to the Niagara River in the winter I ice fished for a long time and then this winter I had enough after I have my hut and all my tavkle stolen from the ice down at Peir 4 in hamilton we walked around the corner to try off the point came back and it was gone. That was enough for me to just say screw it I will go and rent a hut up on Simcoe still the odd time but no buying huts any more I got it brand new at BPS for a pretty penny and gone after not even a month and a half thank god they didn't get my flaher as it was with me but everything else other then the chairs were gone. Sorry to ramble on lol.
