piece of fishing equipment made of rubber or other synthetic materials, worn like a pair of pants to insulate fishermen and protect them from getting wet when wading a river or lake. Waders often come with a pair of wading boots attached, or else slip inside special boots that give extra traction on slippery river bottoms. A pair of chest waders is a fundamental piece of equipment in the sport of fly-fishing.
Protective outer clothing used to keep the fisherman dry when standing or float-tubing in water. Typically made of neoprene, nylon, or a Goretex-like material. Can be insulated to supply warmth.

waterproof hip boots (sometimes extending to the chest) worn by anglers
A combination of waterproof boots and pants that allow a fisherman to wade in water. There are two main materials used: neoprene and breathable. We suggest the latter. With today's technology the warmth is excellent and movement is much better.
Footed trousers that are constructed of latex, neoprene, Gortex or other waterproof material so as to keep anglers dry. Currently waders come in stocking foot or booted form and can be found in three lengths: hip waders, waist-high waders and chest waders.

are distinguished by two categories. Hip-waders come up to your waist and are made up of neoprene or very thick rubber. The water that they are used in is shallow and slow. Chest-waders are nearly a full-body suit and come in either neoprene or thick rubber up to the waist and taper to a thinner material at the chest; both are waterproof.
Waders refers to a waterproof boot extending from the foot to the chest, traditionally made from vulcanised rubber, but available in more modern PVC, neoprene and Gore-Tex variants. Waders are generally distinguished from counterpart waterproof boots by shaft height; the hip boot extending to the thigh and the Wellington boot to the knee. They are therefore sometimes referred to as Chest Waders for emphasis.
