Whether to present a fly with

the river or slog through the

swamp to get to a favourite
pool, a fisherman can't do,
without a pair of chest waders.

Waders need.to be flexible,
warm — but not too warm —
durable and, above all, water-
proof, Every pair of waders I
have wor fails to meet some
or all of these requirements.

Years ago we wore cumber- .
_ some rubber contraptions with

cloth skelctons that sold under

the brand name’ Miner. The -

best thing that, could be said
for miners is they were casily
patched — something the
proud owner had to.do often:

dangerous. The. boots attached
to them -were.made ‘of’ slick

‘Unfortunately, this ‘was a

of Miner type waders barely

rubber -patches and the glue

Seal Dris were light, flexible

the fisherman could easily

Since wader manufacturers

were unlikely to.start making

‘ their products inside out,. it
looked like another profound
concept would fall through the
cracks until someone else saw
that by wearing light weight
‘rain pants over Seal Dris the
