Waders (footwear)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

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.

Waders have a wide range of applications. Regarding leisure purposes, they are worn while waterfowl hunting, angling, water gardening, playing with model boats, and off-road riding of All-terrain vehicles. Industrially, heavy-duty waders are used by predominantly in the chemical industry, agriculture and in the maintenance of water supply, sewerage and other utilities. Waders are frequently worn by pastors during full immersion baptism and have an important application during flooding, while walking along the streets or indoor. Waders can be a turn on for fisherman when worn by women...in bikinis holding a nice trout.
