Okay, put the price tag to one side for a moment and focus your attentions on the word breathable.

That’s right, these superb waders are as waterproof as you’d expect, but are genuinely breathable, unlike any other booted waders I have ever used.

To get this sort of performance you’d usually have to buy a socked wader from one of the top game fishing companies, which then require a further investment in wading boots, which are really not at all convenient for carp anglers.

Even after all of that, I doubt you’d find a set to combine that performance with the hard-wearing, robust build of the 305s.

I first saw this performance when fishing with TC’s Dan Murrell, who had a set and was able to sit in them all day, in full comfort. Meanwhile, my traditional waders meant I was having to get in and out of mine all day in a bid to avoid sweating half my body weight out!

I’ve since got my own set (I just had to after seeing Dan’s) and I absolutely love them. They’re extremely comfortable in use and even when sat on a chair (I roll the top section down to my waist) and in the water, they stand up brilliantly.

Reinforced areas in all the right places offer security and peace of mind that they are going to last and, so far, I cannot fault them. If you spend any amount of time in waders then you need some of these in your life. You just do.
