Pro Guide Waders
Get more comfort and maximum durability in our new and improved Pro Guide™ waders. An exclusive double-weave condenier fabric is lighter and stronger than original Pro Guides, so it wears more comfortably, with more mobility, without sacrificing durability. Plus, the new lightweight, 100% waterproof upper stretch fabric gives you greater agility and a better fit. All while a new five-layer fabric in lower leg increases abrasion and puncture resistance. Rear leg seams save wear and tear from legs rubbing together. Removable suspenders let them fold down easily for more comfort when you're fishing on hot days, from a boat, or when wading shallow water. Neoprene gravel guards help seal out debris and aquatic invasives. Front handwarmer pocket with zippered mesh pocket. Wading belt included. In khaki. Imported.

Sizing Caution,
June 5, 2013
By: JimiinCO
"I just received my waders and would caution anyone regarding sizing. I wear a size 13 shoe and purchased XL waders that show a 12-14 boot size. The wader foot is much to large so much so that they bunch up in my boot. I just reordered the 10-12 size which I hope will work better. I would also mention that the waders are very large around so I also reordered a size smaller - which is a size smaller than I would normally wear."

Easiest Wader to put on and Take Off,
May 6, 2013
By: SteelheadKirk
from Portland, Or
"I'm really impressed with these waders.
They are the ABSOLUTELY easiest wader to put on and take off!!!! Especially when compared to a well known competitors pair I own. I find my self choosing these over the others time and again for that one fact alone."

Foot sizing oversized,
April 7, 2013
By: CNYSPORTSMAN
"I was disappointed with the Pro Guide Waders XL foot sizing 10-12 . With a solid foot size 10 the bootie was extremely big. The bootie did not fit in my wading shoes. I do believe Orvis makes good products and did reorder a size large with a foot sizing 9-11. I still believe the foot sizing will be to big for my wading shoes. I wish there were more foot sizes available in the Pro Guide Waders. Hope I do not need to order a new larger pair of wading shoes."

Dry and Fishing. It's A Good Thing.,
April 3, 2013
By: Grizzly66
from Omaha, NE
"Was sick and tired of leaking waders but I couldn't see spending $700 for a pair of waders so I decided to give the Pro Guide waders a try. After three trips to my favorite streams I am prepared to say, these waders are OUTSTANDING and well worth the price. While I could find cheaper waders, I subscribe to the philosophy, "buy cheap, buy twice." Accordingly, in my opinion the Pro Guide waders represent a superb compromise between quality and cost. Now only time and use will determine the durability of these waders but I suspect the Pro Guide waders will stand up to everything I throw at them. If not, I will come back to this forum and complete this review. Some notable points are as follows: I like the ample size. While not oversize, the Pro Guide waders are slightly larger than any of my previous waders and are much easier to pull on. Additionally, the uniquely detachable suspenders work very well and retain the length adjustment from one trip to the next. Overall, I love these waders."

Well made,
February 28, 2013
By: Chuch
from Somerset, Pa.
"I haven't had them on in the water yet but as far as craftsmanship they look well made - strong and durable. They appear thick but that's what I want in a good wader. Nonetheless, they're not heavy while wearing. I tried them on and the fir is perfect for me. The shoulder straps adjust easily and I like the hand warmer pocket. If this doesn't prove to be another great Orivis product when i wear them in the water I'll be surprised."

Thick tuff waders,
January 24, 2013
By: chieftrouthunter
from White Mountain of Arizona.
"built solid and just feels good knowing there are plenty of layers of protection waist down. the suspender system comes off easy and then waders become waist high ones. i have bought these waders over and over again, with back up being the same one or brand, my new back will be the sonic seam waders. i have many top line items dealing with fly fishing as i fish more then anyone..CHIEF"

Great product for the money,
December 28, 2012
By: hondot
from Kansas
"This is my third pair of Orvis Pro Guide waders since 2002. I use my waders about 8 weeks a year in some tough terrain all over the world. I find them to be a good value for the money, they have almost any size to fit any person, and of course you have Orvis standing behind any problems with the waders."

November 25, 2012
By: ikejd
"I have had two pairs of these. The first lasted seven seasons and my lastest pair has made it six. In both cases the inside seams begin to leak and it works its way out from there. May wear them 100 hours per year. They are very tough in the knees and seat. Great value for as many years as you get out of them. I will buy a new pair before next season."

Comfortable, Tough Wader,
September 24, 2012
By: MPS42
from Atlanta, GA
"I've got a couple hundred hours of time in the water with these and love them. I've put them to task and everything is holding up well. I'm relatively rough on my waders and the typical wear points on these are still looking good. Gravel guards and cold weather pocket are great finishing touches."

Reliable, Hard-Working Waders,
August 17, 2012
By: nmangler
from Santa Fe, NM
"I only have about 50 hours on my waders so far, but I pretty much lived in them for four days so I think they've had a reasonable test.
Worked perfectly. What more do I really need to say.
The fit was great, love the pockets, prefer H straps to Y straps, but that's just me."

Durable and well designed,
July 29, 2012
By: 3meter
"I've been using these waders for over a year now and believe the name "Pro Guide Waders" denotes the quality provided in this product. I've scrubbed the knees of these waders stalking fish but no sign of any failure in seems or fabric. The fit is great for a tall guy at 6'-7" but not too big for a slim guy."
