Experience Orvis's technologically advanced waders and stop worrying about leaks when you’re standing in your favourite fishing run.

Sizing Tips:

  1. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up to accommodate wearing layers.
  2. A little extra inseam/length will make a difference in mobility. From stepping over rocks and logs to crouching on a river bank or sitting in a boat, taking movement into consideration for sizing will ensure the best fit.
  3. The measurements in the chart below are based on body measurements not your street clothing.
  4. All measurements are in inches (") and centimetres (cm), unless otherwise stated.
