Junior PVC waders: so your budding champion can do "like the grown-ups"
Don't leave them on the riverbank watching you fish anymore.
The passion for nature and fishing is passed on with your feet in the water. But to ensure the experience remains enjoyable and doesn't end with "I'm soaked, I want to go home," you need proper equipment. Our junior PVC waders aren't a flimsy plastic toy. They're an exact replica of our professional adult model, adapted to the physique of juniors and teenagers. Made in Europe with the same robust Plavitex PVC, they allow even the youngest to feel like fish in the water... without getting wet!
✅ Why give your children "real" waders?
No more boots that leak as soon as your child ventures a little too far. Here's why this model is the perfect ally for stress-free parents:
➡️ Plavitex® quality (Just like Dad's!)
- Feature: Technical PVC fabric on polyester backing, identical to the adult pro range.
- This allows you to let them explore the reeds, kneel in the sand, or climb the banks without fear of immediate tearing. It's sturdy, designed to withstand the boundless energy of young children.
➡️ Total waterproofing and safety
- Feature: Assembly by high frequency (HF) welding and welded injected boots.
- This allows you to return home with dry clothes (and less laundry for you!). The child can immerse themselves up to their chest in complete thermal and water safety.
➡️ Adjustable straps and ergonomics
- Feature: Adjustable elastic shoulder strap system.
- This allows you to adjust the waders as your child grows. The equipment stays securely in place even when they're chasing a landing net or casting their line.
➡️ Stable lug boots
- Feature: Anti-slip profiled sole.
- This allows you to secure their steps in the mud or on slippery pebbles. Fewer slips mean more safety and confidence for them.

👁️ The Parent-Pro's Advice: Maintenance & Comfort
To ensure this equipment lasts as he/she grows (or to pass it on to a younger brother/sister):
- Fun rinsing 🚿: Teach them to take care of their equipment. A quick rinse with the hose after their ride to remove the mud. It's simple and educational!
- Drying upside down 💨: Children sweat when they're active. To avoid bad odors, waders should be dried open and hung by their boots.
- Storage 🧱: Store it hanging to avoid marked creases that weaken the material over time.
💡 Tip : Use our wall-mounted rack for optimal drying and storage.
- Beware of thorns: Even if the fabric is strong, explain to them that aggressive brambles remain the enemy of waders.
- Easy repair 🩹: A tear? Don't panic. Plavitex repairs very easily with flexible PVC glue and a patch. No need to throw it away, just repair and be good to go.
💡 The "Fishing in the Warmth" and "Easy Storage" Combo
To ensure the outing isn't spoiled by the cold or the mess:
- ❄️ No more "My feet are cold!": Children get cold faster than adults. It's essential to complete their waders with our special thermal wader booties (size 39 and up) in winter or spring. It's the secret to keeping them smiling for hours.
- 🧱 Impeccable storage: To prevent waders from getting crumpled up in the garage, install our wall-mounted rack . It's ideal for drying their gear next to yours. Like father, like son!
