During a recent week in Sweden I have made good use of the waders. They were easy to get in and out of and on warm days the breathable garment was a big plus compared with neoprene waders. The waders are light and very comfortable to wear.

With my length of 1,90 meter, the L size was a good choice. Getting down on my knees to land a fish was easy, the material was not too tight at all.
