Advice Request for Neoprene Chest Waders

[FASTEDDIE29]

I hang my waders off a rod in my basement. The rod is placed at 6 feet tall. I loosen the shoulder straps so that the feet of my waders are sitting gently on the ground. My wife hates it because there in the laundry room and every tine she turns the light on she thinks it’s a person. Lol!!!

The waders are hanging naturally with no tension on them other than the little bit that’s on the shoulder straps connected to the rod!

I have a pair of hodgman neoprene chest waders with the boot, I hang them the same as fasteddie29. They are 25 years old. No leaks. They are pretty heavy, I prefer the breathable stocking foot waders with long undies even in winter though.

Eddie, that's funny as hell, pictured your wife seeing them, perfectly. My wife would be the same, and I have no basement & very limited space otherwise. I think you and Godrew are doing just the right thing. I can tell you're like me: Once you buy something you want it to last well & as long as possible. I know I'm making a compromise on my waders because the set up I have isn't perfect. I'm going to pay attention to that warp in the boot I mentioned, and if it gets its original shape back, try hanging the waders by the boots.

The best wader I found for winter fishing and I do a lot of it is the Aquaz boot foots !
That have bogs boots neoprene attached with felts or with stud bottoms ! I They are very lightweight and extremely comfortable to walk in !
I use fleece pants under and the boots keep my feet toasty ! Outside of neoprene They are the warmest breathable boot foots I’ve ever owned !
Store like Eddie said get 6!seasons outta mine !
Generally your legs only get cold if your waist deep in cold water for a length of time, it’s the boot foots in many brands that’s the contributing to cold feet ! Once you keep them warm no issue !
