Best Piece Of Cold-Weather Fly Fishing Gear You NEED This Season!

I wear the Orvis Pro almost every day in the winter, including under my drysuit when kayaking Lake Erie on cold water days. In fact, i spent 3 weeks straight in them this summer during my latest kayak trip in Alaska.

Thank you - great topic.

Thanks, just questions we get in the shop often figured more folks likely have the same questions.

Nike pro warm (winter weight dry fit material) tights, and long sleeve top. Nike winter warrior fleece lined soccer pants over the tights. The pants taper and have zippers on the ankle. The nice part is the pants don’t climb up your leg as you put on the waders. I have hunted and fished in Nike pro for years. Sent some to a guide I used in Montana several years ago…he now uses it all the time.

many different options for sure, however make sure the pant material is breathable and wicks if you are wearing breathable waders, if not it cancels each other out.

I have the orvis pro wading pants as shown in the video and they are great for warmth and wicking. My only criticism is that where the foot strap connects to the bottom of the pants is very bulky and when walking with wading boots the bulky bit digs in to my ankle and can be extremely uncomfortable, even after a few minutes. I have tried messing around with the tension on my laces to prevent this happening but it is still the same problem. I would prefer no ankle strap and just tuck the bottom of the pants into my socks.

I have not had that issue thankfully, mine are a new pair, maybe they made a change I don't know.

A pair of thick military polypropelene long underwear bottoms, nothing else needed inside the waders.

[@chagrinriveroutfitterschag6230]

you rocking breathable waders or neoprene?
