Recommendations for big waders.

I'm looking for a pair of neoprene chest waders to suit my bigger than ave frame. I'm 6'3" with a 40" waist and 52" chest and size 12 boot.

Just bought a pair of sonik sk3 neoprene waders and when I tried them on its more like a wetsuit with wellies. Now sold to a lucky bargain seeking angler.

I don't have a huge budget but can anyone point me to a piece of kit that might work for me. I tend to shop online as alnwick is quite a hike from civilization.
 
I know that snowbee used to do the granite waders in FB,(fuller bodied), sizes. It might be worth having a look at their range.
Also a lot of breathable wader manufacturers do king size, or large king, in their ranges so it may be worth looking at those.
I have some Vision waders and they are good, they come in a lot of sizes too.

Good luck, Ian

ave got the above mate FB full bodied or as they said in shop FAT B*****D they are dear mate but worth it :p im 5'10" 50 od chest 17 stone ? :o
 
Picked up some LC waders from a gent exactly same height n weight as me. Only used twice and a bargain at 20 quid. It's worth asking a few questions on ebay when a listing doesn't have much info.

Great fit over my gear which was handy in the sleet today. Wanted neoprene tbh but a good fit is more important to me at the minute

.Cheers for the recommendations.
 
Vass Waders

Vass Waders

Try the vass waders.
I'm 6ft 6", 19 stone, size 13 feet.
There a big fit, go for the studded soles.
You can get them in £100 range.
They are rubber and not neoprene.
I have the greys neoprene, which are a big fit, but I believe they have stopped making the greys waders.

Bigfoot.
