Title: Waders with a fly (zip in front kind)
Post by: Slider on August 01, 2006, 12:49:42 PM
Anyone have or know of someone who has a pair of the waders with the fly built in?  Being a victim of age I am more and more interested in being able to zip and feel good rather than having to undress to feel good.  I forget who makes them, but I think I remember them being showcased this past Spring as the newest convenience in waders.  Comments?  Thanks.

I think your talking about the Hodgman waders... and from what I've heard they aren't the best...

Probably more marketing gimmick then new technology.

How about just taking a whizz in your old waders. Expect you would end up with the same effect. ???

Is it worth $750.00? Simms just introduced a zipperred pair of waders at that price. 

Even if they ever go on sale I would think Depends would be cheaper!

I wouldn't think that there would be that much demand for expensive zippered waders... WOW $750! at that price there is probably a luxury tax on them too...

try one of these for free....
