I am starting to explore waders. Something breathable, chest style, with socks. I already purchased my shoes locally and have been given a quote from the same local place for waders built to my size. Problem is, they are way out of my price range for now. I will call them and ask if they can offer any other brand but I think Simms was all they carried.
So, anyone else here short and plump with small feet <hehehe>.
I am 5'5", 180 pounds, 43" chest, 44 to 45" stomach, with 7 mens foot. The Simms can be made for a Large/Short and then get special size socks for 7-8. They come in at $349 + tax. I just don't have that much in the budget to do that now.
I do see a few other brands than may work that come with a 7-9 boot sock and 43" chest with short legs but prefer to buy local if I can rather than mail order.
Anyone know any other options locally?
I will give my local place a call and see if they can special order some other brand that could work but I wanted to check here also as I think I asked them already when I was there and they said they just carried the Simms. I am getting old so I forget. I go into lala land when in their shop as they have so many nice things I am dreaming about buying from them as I save my pennies.
Thanks
