The New XS-Pro Breathable Waders
The new XS-Pro wader is fitted with a full-length front zip. Developed by Riri for the diving industry, these brand-leading, precision, water-tight zips, are pressure tested to 1.7 Bar, now that’s deep wading, and provide a convenience never before experienced by the wading angler. Furthermore, these break the mould by utilising the very latest in breathable material technology and use a durable, new triple laminate Polyester material, which also 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 specification. For those anglers who don’t want the trouble of separate wading boots, the new boot-foot version is also now available. Neoprene lined for warmth and extra comfort these are fitted with our combination felt sole & cleated heel for the ultimate grip, with a steel sole shank, to provide extra protection and support.

Our NEW range of Prestige Breathable Waders provide wading comfort, with some innovative new design features.
Using our Vapour-Tec ® ‚ System – the totally new materials have a tough Nylon outer shell and a Breathable Inner 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.

At Snowbee, we have a very simple philosophy, when it comes to manufacturing. Combining our UK design expertise with our manufacturing bases in the Far East, allows us to use the best quality materials available, but still provide outstanding value for money. This ‘no compromise’ approach to product quality, gives you the customer, the best possible quality for the price. We can guarantee that if similar products are offered cheaper, it is because they do not match our material or manufacturing quality.
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….

Many years ago, we used to make a Nylon wader called the ‘WaderMaster’. Made from 420D 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….the new Snowbee Granite waders are made from that same 420D Nylon & offer outstanding durability.
They’re not breathable & they’re not lightweight. What they are is incredibly tough, durable & hardwearing. They deflect thorns & gorse like no other material & if you want a pair of waders that is going to last…this is it.
