  • @ColinTheBald,
    and indeed any other fishermen.

    I'm not joining your club/hobby.

    Looking for recommendations for chest waders.
    Covid restrictions allowing, we* should be removing Himalayan Balsam from along the (mighty)River Pinn as it flows through Ruislip this Summer.

    These were a for example in the funding application;
    https://www.sportfish.co.uk/snowbee-classic-neoprene-bootfoot-waders.html
    Are these 'avoid at any cost' or is there a 'get these, better & cheaper'?

    Thanks in advance.
    [* 'we' = Ruislip Residents Association and the voluntary conservation group I help run].

  • You'll boil your bits off in those in summer! Also, puncture the boots and they're totalled. What you need are stocking foot (basically a neoprene overshoe attached to the waders) breathable waders with separate wading boots worn over them. I'll have a look about.
