Waders for Big Guys
 
Anyone know any local stores, or even online shops that sell chest waders for big guys?

Ive looked around a bit online with little luck.

I sent for info from Hodgeman, but would love any other suggestions.

Simms too. They'll even custom build, I think.

Raven 10-24-2006 04:29 PM

same dilema
 
with a 13 eee foot, i am finding waders only
with regular widths available....

so i asked around and found simms to be
the only game in town....with what i wanted.

BrianS 10-24-2006 04:36 PM

simms looks like good stuff.. :)

Raven 10-24-2006 05:00 PM

but big money too...

If you like bootfoots you're really going to like what Simms is up to for the coming year.

They'll be able to attach a new, very high quality Muck boot to any wader they make. It won't be cheap, but it will be the best. The boot below is almost exactly what they'll be attaching to waders in the near future. There's a felt option too.

Also for those who really never like to take off their waders they also have a new model with a waterproof zipper on the front. No need to take off your surf top if you need to take a leak. Just zip down the front of your waders.

I can recommend Bigcamo.com.

Have bought from them a few times, great service and fast shipping.

The Ducks Unlimited Edition Stout Bootfoot Waders are nice neoprenes for $120. Neat thing is the shortened boot; I usually get rubbed raw on my calf from the too tight boots they put on the waders.

I thought the boot was going to be a lace up style. NOw what would be that they would attach a boot like the kooker style so you could switch out the soles depending on what type of fishing you are doing. ThomT

Im a big guy and Simm fits me the best. ThomT

I deal direct with LaCrosse online. I have trouble being 6-6" and the guys there fit me right up and ship direct from the factory. I have a narrow foot though 12-1/2. Big ED known as EdB on the site here is 6"-10" and has a 15 foot. He gets waders but I don't know where from.PM him, he is a great guy and will fill you in.

Stout sizes
 
I have seen a few with stout sizes for the big guys, Hodgemen (Stearns) being one.
