Dan Murrell’s verdict:Outstanding value-for-money waders. 4/5
I love a pair of waders, and have tried most, so was interested when these turned up.
First impressions were of tough waders, which immediately appealed because I’m known as really putting stuff through its paces. I was amazed to find that they cost less than 40 quid!
The material is 680g Plavitex, which once I’d put them on felt easy enough to move in but also extremely robust and, obviously, supremely waterproof.
