Guys, I'm after purchasing some waders for the summer months but not too sure whether to buy neoprene or nylon ones?? I've read on the forum that after a while you start cooking in neoprene ones..

thinking of these normal nylon ones:

Daiwa NEW Lightweight Fishing Chest Waders *Size 11* | eBay

or these neoprene ones

Neoprene Chest Waders - Dragon Carp Direct

don't want to be paying a any more than £40 but could streach a little more.

Anybody used either of these products?

Cheers

if its just for summer use only , stay well clear of neoprene

unless you can carry them to the peg , put them on and fish you will melt to the point of collapse

i have the nylon ones and they have been fine. bit cold tho but i wear 2 layers of cotton jogging bottoms underneath which sorts out the cold. no leaks and had them a year buy a size bigger for thick socks. i prefer them to neoprene as you can move about in them easier

Nylon breathable waders for summer, neoprene for winter. I also find stocking foot waders better as you can place studs in the wading shoes which makes sliding around on the bank less of a problem.

i have had nylons throughout the year. winter as well. if you want a pair for summer and a pair for winter you may as well buy a breathable gortex set. there are sets of breathable goretex bison waders on ebay for £70

Thanks fo your replies, looks like its going to be the nylon ones. The gortex ones are a bit out of my price range.....

Thanks again!

Decathlon have some gray nylon breather waders for £45, plus you get a 2 year warranty on them.

You do not want to be wearing neoprene waders in the summer or even in warm sun light, you'll sweat like a fat bitch on a treadmill and they take days, weeks to dry out.

I never knew how much sweat can come out of your legs, it's just weird.
