Neoprene Waders
They are designed to provide thermal insulation, making them ideal for cold climates or very cold waters. They are made from thick and elastic material that retains body heat but does not allow breathability, which can be uncomfortable in warm climates. They are usually more resistant to punctures but less lightweight and flexible compared to other options.
Breathable Waders
They are made from advanced materials like Gore-Tex or similar, which allow sweat to evaporate while keeping water out. This makes them a comfortable choice for warm climates or long fishing sessions. Although they offer less thermal insulation than neoprene waders, they are much lighter and more versatile.
