Neoprene Waders
When buying Fishing Waders do you buy a size bigger or smaller? Im looking for thigh high waders. Thanks!!!?
Would you recomend any makers? Im going for neoprene as its cold in Irsh lakes!!
Don't buy them a size big or a size too small. Buy the pair that fits right. By "fits right," I mean you can wear what you plan to wear underneath and you have full range of motion. Bend down, touch your toes, squat, kneel, etc. If you feel any tightness, discomfort, or straining at the seams, they're too small. If you have excessive material bagging around you, they're too big. Take your Wading Boots and the socks you plan to use with you to try on with the waders.
If I could make a recommendation, though, I'd shy away from neoprene. I know you're wading in cold water and during cold weather, but a pair of good breathable waders will keep you just as warm, will probably last longer, and are more versatile. With a pair of breathable waders, you can wear long underwear, pants, and waders when it's cold, but just shorts underneath when it's warm. You sweat less in breathable waders and they are easier to care for. They're also more comfortable all around -- it's really like wearing a pair of extra pants, rather than rubber tights.
I fish with breathable waders in cold streams in the western U.S. all through the winter. The water is nearly freezing and I get ice in my rod, in my reel, on my nose, etc. With some good long underwear, the right combination of socks, and maybe a few chemical heat packs, I can fish for several hours before I have to retreat to the truck to warm up. You could do the same thing with a set of neoprene waders, but you have to deal with all the drawbacks of neoprene, too.
As for brands, it's tough to say -- I don't know what's available to you in Ireland. It used to be that all you had to say was Simms is the gold standard and Hodgeman is the bottom of the barrel. While that is still mostly true, there are a lot of good waders out there nowadays. Orvis and Dan Bailey make some great breathable waders that don't cost as much as Simms. I'd still stay away from Hodgeman, though.
