Functional PVC waders: reinforced knees & waterproof pocket, made in Europe
All-terrain gear that keeps your legs (and your phone) dry.
Out in the field, you need two things: ruggedness to withstand the elements and practicality to keep your essential tools within easy reach. Our PVC waders with reinforced knees and a waterproof front pocket are not your average waders. They combine the durability of our knee reinforcements with an essential innovation: a 100% waterproof, welded front pocket. They're the choice of professionals and anglers who want to protect their knees from rocks and their keys from drowning.
✅ Why choose this model with a waterproof pocket?
Tired of damp or inaccessible inner pockets? Here's why this model is a game changer:
➡️ Waterproof External Front Pocket (The Practical "Plus")
- Feature: Large patch pocket on the chest, assembled by high-frequency welding (without piercing seams) with a protective flap.
- This allows you to keep your phone, keys, or fishing license within easy reach and perfectly dry, even in the rain or splashes. No more opening your waders and letting in the cold to take a call.
➡️ Strategic Knee Reinforcements
- Feature: Double thickness of material welded on the patellar area.
- This allows you to work on your knees on rough surfaces (gravel, concrete, riverbanks) without fear of punctures. This is the area of greatest wear, and here it is reinforced for durability.
➡️ Plavitex® Standard Technology
- Feature: Technical PVC fabric on polyester backing (350g/m²), flexible and abrasion resistant.
- This allows you to traverse cluttered terrain without tearing your gear. The fabric remains flexible even in cold weather (-50°C), avoiding the stiff, cardboard-like feel of lower-end waders.
➡️ High Frequency (HF) Bilateral Welding
- Feature: Hot fusion of materials ensuring structural sealing.
- This allows you to be safely submerged up to your chest. No seams will come undone over time. It's absolutely watertight.

👁️ Pro Tip: Maintenance & Durability
The reinforced knees encourage contact, so maintenance is crucial for this model:
- Targeted rinsing 🚿: Mud, sand, and salt tend to accumulate around the thicker areas of the knees. Pay particular attention to this area with a hose to prevent dried particles from becoming abrasive.
- Vertical drying (Important) 💨: Waders should not dry in a ball. Internal moisture (perspiration) must escape to prevent mold. They must be hung open.
- Storage 🧱: Do not fold it by crushing the knee area. Store it hanging to prevent cracking at the folds.
💡 Tip : Use our wall-mounted rack for optimal drying and storage.
- 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.
💡 Complete your gear: total comfort and drying
The reinforcement protects the exterior, but consider your interior comfort and logistics:
- ❄️ Against the cold: PVC doesn't insulate against the cold. For winter or cold water, add our special thermal wader liners . They fit inside your waders to keep your feet warm.
- 🧱 For drying: Our wall-mounted rack is essential. It holds the waders suspended by the boots, allowing moisture to evaporate and the fabric to remain taut. It's the life insurance for your waders.
