045 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2005 I'm thinking of buying a pair of breathable waders. I have read about all the qualities of these waders except for one thing and that is the noise factor. Can anyone tell me how noisy these things are to walk in-- other loose fitting waders made of rubber or whatever seem to generate alot of swish swish noise during walking. Thanks for any info.

Take the plunge you will never look back. DCM P.S. Check out the Orvis Silver Lable, great waders under two bills. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, and BTW, for anyone looking Sierra Trading Post has the Patagonia SST+ waders on sale for $215. A great set of waders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
