Waders
The Prestige Zip-Front waders
Having pioneered the concept of Zip-Front breathable waders in the UK, with our popular XS-Pro range, the new Prestige Zip-Front model takes design style to the next level. Our standard Prestige range have proved to be the most reliable breathable waders we have ever produced, so it was not a difficult decision to incorporate a Zip-Front model into the range.
The full-length front zip was developed by the Swiss manufacturers Riri for the diving industry. These brand-leading, precision, water-tight zips are pressure tested to 1.7 Bar, now that’s deep wading. They provide the wading angler with a convenience never before experienced. Utilising the very latest in breathable material technology and using a durable, new triple laminate Nylon material, helps us ensure total reliability and durability.
This state of the art wader eclipses anything on the market, in terms of design, performance and material technology. Using our well proven Vapour-Tec® breathable membrane, allowing rapid vapour transfer to keep you dry and comfortable all day. The chest waders feature a unique new front pocket design. Rather than the usual stitched pockets, where the stitching penetrates the body material and has to be sealed on the inside, our new design features an outer ‘gasket’ which is heat welded to the front of the waders, holding the pocket in place. No seams, no stitching, just a totally waterproof seal, which leaves the body material intact. Add to this a vertical, YKK waterproof zip and at last you
have totally waterproof pockets on the front of your waders.
Prestige Waist Waders
Following the success of our popular Prestige Breathable Stockingfoot Waist Waders in 2010, we were frequently asked for a Bootfoot version, so here they are!
11181 Prestige Bootfoot Waist Waders
The same features as the Stockingfoot model, but fitted with our NEW 1-piece, heavy-duty, moulded PVC boot. This new boot represents a serious investment in tooling for Snowbee, but provides a heavy duty boot guaranteed not to crack, perish or leak, as rubber boots are prone to. Wide fitting for comfort and neoprene lined for warmth, the shorter length makes it easier to get waders on and off. Fitted with our famous combi felt-sole and cleated heel for the ultimate grip both in the river and on the bank.
11180 Prestige Stockingfoot Waist Waders
All the design features of the Chest Wader but in a waist height, trouser style. Fitted with an adjustable webbing waist-belt and two waterproof front pockets.

Granite Neoprene Waders
Having pioneered the concept of zip-front breathable waders in the UK, we were constantly asked for zip-front Neoprene’s, so here they are. Our popular Granite Neoprene range has been upgraded, with a totally new material, STYRENE CHLOROPRENE RUBBER (SCR) Neoprene. This new blended Neoprene has similar properties to our old very soft, very elastic CR Neoprene, but with elasticity up to 60% more than CR grade, making it even more comfortable and reliable.
Over the past few years, we have seen prices of so-called ‘Neoprene’ Waders steadily drop to ludicrous levels. On the face of it, to you the consumer, it might look like good news, but as they say….there’s no such thing as a free lunch! Original Snowbee Neoprene waders use ONLY 100% CHLOROPRENE RUBBER (CR) Neoprene. CR is the very soft, very elastic Neoprene, used in diving suits and the BEST waders available. CR grade neoprene starts life more elastic than cheaper grades and retains its elasticity. Most cheaper waders on the market – which are wrongly described as ‘Neoprene’ use a blended rubber, such as STYRENE BUTADIENE RUBBER (SBR). This inferior material, used by many manufacturers, is harder and less elastic than true neoprene. Not only does it start life less elastic than CR Neoprene, but In a very short space of time – as little as 3-6 months, it loses elasticity. The stresses & strains of everyday use, are then transferred to the seams, rather than being absorbed by the material itself, resulting in the inevitable seam leak ! Snowbee have been making Neoprene waders for over 20 years and in that time we’ve learnt never to compromise quality because of price. To stay dry, insist on Snowbee 100% CR Neoprene.
Snowbee ‘GRANITE’ Neoprene Waders: When we were developing this new range, we needed a name, which would reflect what these waders were all about…rugged, tough and dependable. Granite seemed to sum up those properties, so here they are….
GRANITE Neoprene Zip-Front Waders.
NB During 2012 the colour of the last of the Grey Granite Neoprene Waders will be changed to GREEN. This will be a gradual change as stocks of the current GREY colour sell through.
12083 Granite Neoprene Zip-Front Waders
The new Granite Zip-Front Waders, offer the winter angler all the
comfort and warmth of traditional neoprene but now, for the first time, coupled with the ‘convenience’ of a zip-front. Using the well-proven Swiss Riri waterproof zip, these are sure to become firm favourites, particularly with Salmon fishers. Not only does a front zip allow a ‘pit-stop’ without having to take everything off, but it also
makes getting in and out of your waders so much easier. Featuring the same heavy duty, combi-felt sole, Neoprene lined PVC boot as the standard range, for all-day comfort. Fitted with two Velcro flap front pockets for fly boxes and accessories.

Add our famous ‘Spike-Sole’ and you have the ultimate boot for any occasion where deep wading is not required.

We haven’t yet found a surface this sole will not grip on – even ice!

Sizes: 6 to 11

600D Wadermaster Waders
Many years ago, we used to make a nylon wader called the ‘WaderMaster’. Made from 600D Ballistic Nylon – the same material ‘Special Forces’ use for their 1-piece jump suits – this material is as close to indestructible as it gets! Well they’re back… but even better!
The new Snowbee Wadermasters are now made from a heavy duty rip-stop, 600D nylon and offer ever greater durability than the originals.
They’re not breathable and they’re not lightweight. What they are is incredibly tough, durable and hardwearing. They deflect thorns and gorse like no other material and if you want a pair of waders that is going to last… this is it.
600D Ballistic Nylon material with a PVC backing to ensure it stays waterproof
