Breathable waders: no more sauna effect, plus added durability
Walk for miles, stay dry indoors and outdoors.
For the active angler stalking carp or the professional who has to cover long distances along the banks, traditional PVC waders have one limitation: perspiration. Breathable waders overcome this constraint. Designed in Europe with XT4L® 4-layer technical fabric, these waders wick away body moisture while providing an impenetrable barrier against water. They offer the perfect blend of the comfort of sportswear and the protection of certified PPE .
✅ Why switch to XT4L® 4-layer technology?
Looking to forget you're wearing waders? Here's how this technical sheet transforms your field experience:
➡️ XT4L® Quadri-Layer Fabric (Extreme Performance)
- Feature: Technical complex 100% Polyester and Polyurethane (PU), conforming to EN 343 Class 4-4.
- This allows you to:
🌬️ Breathe easy: With a breathability of 6,500 g/m²/24h, perspiration vapor escapes. No more feeling soaked in your own sweat after 10 minutes of walking.
💦 Stay waterproof: With a 30,000 mm water column, you're protected far beyond the usual standards (a good camping tent only has 3,000 mm!). Even under water pressure or torrential rain, nothing gets through.
➡️ Integrated Soft Boots & Triple Welded
- Feature: Boots made of soft PVC welded to breathable fabric by triple high-frequency welding.
- This allows you to enjoy the benefits of breathable waders without the hassle of lace-up wading boots. You can slip them on in 10 seconds. The triple-welded seam is the crucial guarantee: it's often the weak point of lower-end breathable waders. Here, the seam is reinforced for durability.
➡️ Ergonomics and Fit
- Features: Adjustable elasticated straps and drawstring at the chest.
- This allows you to adjust the waders to fit snugly against your body, preventing them from catching the wind or accidentally entering the top. You retain complete freedom of movement for throwing, squatting, or climbing trees.
➡️ Practicality of the Terrain
- Feature: Secured inner pocket with Velcro.
- This allows you to keep your keys or license safe inside, protected from splashes.

👁️ Pro Tip: Specific Maintenance (Warning!)
Breathable waders are not maintained like PVC ones. The membrane is technical:
- Gentle wash 🚿: Rinse with clean, cold water. Never use fabric softener or harsh detergents that will clog the pores of the breathable membrane.
- Drying 💨: Always dry in the shade. Prolonged direct UV exposure can damage technical layers.
- Storage 🧱: Store it hanging.
💡 Tip : Use our wall-mounted rack for optimal drying and storage.
- Beware of thorns: Although 4-layer waders are resistant, breathable waders are more susceptible to thorns and barbed wire than heavy PVC waders. Be careful in dense undergrowth.
💡 Complete your equipment: Thermal management
Breathable waders offer no thermal insulation (that's their purpose, to prevent sweating). You'll feel the cold water immediately.
- ❄️ Essential in winter: You need to manage your layers. In cold water, our special thermal wader booties are mandatory to insulate your feet inside your boots.
- 🧱 For storage: A breathable membrane should not be folded and compressed for months. Our wall-mounted rack allows you to store the waders hanging, without damaging the membrane fibers.
