[BrianS]

im 6'5 with a 48" waist and 32-34" inseam

i need big guy waders....

any suggestions? i came upon some $$ this morning and want to get something i need before i blow it

[Flaptail]

Brian, I am 6'-6" with a 40 inch waist and a 36 inseam. Two companies make waders that should fix you up right out of the box. LaCrosse and Hodgeman. They both make waders for your build. RedTop in Buzzards Bay has Hodgeman and you can buy direct on-line form LaCrosse. Cabelas and BassPro also have both breathables and Neoprenes for the big guy.

I just looked in the cabelas catalog Guide Tech Dry-plus Bootfoot&Stockingfoot $219 bootfoot $189 stockingfoot.Simms will cost close to double.but,you get what you pay for.Orvis around $325.

cool beans.. thanks for the heads up...

ill have to take a ride down to redtop.. i forget the brand... might of been hodgemans, but i tried on the biggest that #^&#^&#^&#^&s carried and it was slightly too snug.. I need to lose 20lbs.. hehe

Im a little wary about buying my first ones from a catalog for that reason...

Thanks for the leads...

cabelas has a sizing chart right on the page.I've had a size problem in the past with waders ordered through the catalog.I called cabelas and let them know and the next size up was sent right out and i sent the others back no questions asked.

Brian S try cabelas hunting section-large camos by Herters they have ajustable waste strapes

[fishnfool]

Ive had all the above and cabelas is a good one if you can get to the store and try them on, my favorite right now is LL.Bean Waders I bought the ones with the boot built right in ...
West Branch Integrated Boot-Foot Waders, Aqua Stealth
lil pricey at 269.00 for them but when i had a small hole somewhere and all i did was take the waders in still wet and NO QUESTIONS asked replaced them without a receipt...

[BrianS]

These looked decent... In a size 14 maybe...

Ill go check out redtop first... Not gonna make it to east hartford any time soon..

[Slingah]

order them on-line....if they dont fit send em back

[gone fishin]

LL Bean has just what you need - unreal gurantee and the breathable wader in a double x will fit you fine. Just under a c note. Also get their lightet weight wading boot for under 50 buks and you are good to go. The cabelas wader you are looking at is not what you will be happy with. I purchased it and promptly returned them. That shelf pouch on the front is a real pain in the butt when you wear a splash jacket. Also for over a duce they leave a lot to be desired. lousey suspenders, no belt loops and other stuff you expect from a 249.00 pair of waders.
just my opinion!!

so like this...

Check boot foot

[gone fishin]

What Bob said - the west branch is a good selection. Too bad they don't have the boot in question in stock. If you are close enough to Burlington you could try on one size smaller. They run large, but you would have to try em on!

[zimmy]

I typically wear a 13 shoe, but both pairs of boot foot west branch I have owned (old style felt and new rubber soles) fit well in 12. You would probably do ok a size smaller boot. If you can try em I guess that would be ideal...

I have Hodgeman XL's for my 6'2" 270lb 40" waist and they fit awesome. Bought them right here in the classifides. Couln't be happier.
