Breathable waders are among the most popular fishing gear ever introduced by the Orvis Company.

These comfortable and functional must-haves are so lightweight and flexible it's like walking around in a comfortable pair of pants. This amazing outerwear keeps you dry and warm in cold weather, and dry and cool when it's hot. For the discriminating fisherman who wants the best in wading technology, this essential piece of gear is the top of the line for a wide range of environmental conditions. Expert anglers most often choose these all-weather protectors over any other type.

Breathable Waders Offer Comfort And Safety.

Fisherman know that whether you're walking in a rocky stream or scrambling down a seaside jetty, lightweight fishing pants offer premium maneuverability, and for cold weather, allow an angler to layer clothes in a way bulkier options don't.

When fishing in cold water, whether stream or surf, surprise hypothermia can be a real threat. Made of a special four-layer material, these pants are waterproof, yet they allow moisture to escape, keeping you warm and dry in the coldest weather.

Breathable waders are also the angler's choice for hot-weather angling, since the material wicks away body heat and sweat. Pull them on over a t-shirt and shorts and you're not likely to even notice you're wearing them.

Choosing the Right Breathable Waders

Orvis offers both booted and stocking-foot models. If you're covering a lot of distance, choose the neoprene stocking-foot model and cover them with wading boots for maximum comfort and durability. Boot-foot models will keep your feet warmer but are somewhat more cumbersome if you plan on moving around a lot.

Taking Care of Breathable Waders

Good all-weather outerwear is an essential component in any angler's arsenal. Although this gear is an investment, if you take care of them they will last for years. Remember to always store them upside down and inside out when not in use. Plus, Orvis covers these pants with the Orvis Unconditional 4-year Guarantee, the only one of its kind in the industry.
