The best breathable zipper wader in the world! 

 

The EZ-Zip wader is simar to the popular Yellowstone Guide wader but with an important addition - a totally waterproof zipper!  We've given these waders a lot of use and have found them to be extremely comfortable and easy to use, even when you are bundled up wearing a fishing vest, fleece and rain jacket!  Thankfully these waders have a zipper that goes down far enough, unlike other zipper waders!   The zipper also allows you to get in an out of the waders much more easily too, an added bonus.   We've worn these waders a lot and they are super-flexible and easy to walk and hike in. Breathability is excellent.    We also love the pocket layout, with both handwarmer pockets and top loading pockets that keep your boxes from falling out.   Right and left contoured neoprene feet and great built-in gravel guards.

A comfortable, tough, good looking wader
The Yellowstone Guide waders are a step up from the lightweight breathables in that they use a tougher micro-fiber polyester fabric that breathes well but is super tough yet comfortble to wear.  Thse good looking two tone waders have left and right contoured neoprene feet,  great gravel guards with a velcro cuff, a double seat and articulated knee. Double layer protection extends around the lower legs.    These waders use a unique belt in belt and adjustment system.  In addition the suspenders clip off easily, for a waist high conversion.

Guide's Choice for Bailey Waders

Why change a good thing?  To make it better of course!  Bailey's took the same lightweight material and then laminated a layer of Entrant-HB, followed by a layer of tricot).  Next, they added a second layer around the legs for durability.  Additional features also include an articulated knee for better fit and movement, as well as a front-mounted chest pocket system.  The pocket system is the same system that they use in their top of the line guide series, which consists of two medium sized pockets, a divided tippet storage area, and a fleece lined hand warmer pocket.  They come in both stockingfoot and bootfoot.  The stockingfoots have built in gravel guards which means one less piece of gear you need to drag along.  Side straps eliminate the need for a wader belt and are easy to adjust.  The suspenders are removable and convert quickly to allow you to use these waders waist-high.The most important thing to note is the reinforced knees. This allows you to spend all day playing sneak attack on wary fish!

Designed especially for women

All the same specs as the men's version, but built for the figure of a woman.  No longer do we hear women complain about being uncomfortable or not looking good on the river.  This wader is extremely comfortable in all situations and conditions.  Their built in cinch straps allow you to layer with ease.  If you are wading deep, you'll want to cinch them down tight so water won't come pouring in if you slip.  Thse are easily converible to waist high waders in warmer weather.  The warm 3 mm neoprene booties have hypalon bottoms.  An inside pouch is provided for tippet spools and tools.  These waders come in a dark green color.
