I usually wear Ranger "boot foot" waders and seeing they need to e replaced I figured I would go with something more comfortable. I fish the boulder fields and in Plymouth and want something that has more mobility and comfort.

Any suggestions? <Maybe a stocking foot wader with korker boots?

Any help is appreicated.

Simms G3's......in a heartbeat......if you can afford the upfront cost (mine have proven very durable through 3 years of hard fishing in the rocks).

i wear bean's guide pants, they have a gortex sock, depending on the conditions I wear various sets of boots from light neoprene wading shoes to studded high top boots.
I also can layer my liner depending on the time of year, I have been out winter codfishing on the HelenH with them or wading Monomoy in June.

And if they puncture they take them back.

the only complaint is that the seat is not double or triple as in the yak or canoe they have a tendency to wear quickly

Quick question with the sizing.....after reading some reviews on different retailers web sites it seems some people have had problems with the sizing charts the retailers provided for waders. Anyone else have problems with sizing when ordering online?

I am 6ft,190,11" foot and says I take a medium...doesnt seem right.

Thanks.

sometimes knowing what not to buy is as important as what to buy
stay away from Orvis
$400 and you'll be back to store every few weeks to fix leaks
Do they have the best warranty in business? Yes
But do you really want to wait a month to get your waders back? This goes for any pair they make.
I gave up after about ten pairs.I ever wrote to CEO.
Now I just let them leak and then I bring a wet pair into a store at years end
