Redington Sonic-Pro Waders: $247 (35% Off)

Simple by design, these waders are built to withstand the harshest fishing environments you’ll encounter. The garment is crafted with a four-layer fabric that is waterproof and breathable. SonicWeld seams protect against the kind of leaks traditional taped seams can produce.
Integrated neoprene booties and reinforced lower legs protect against debris both in and out of the water, while the chest-high design allows you to wade a bit deeper during river crossings and when fishing those hard-to-reach seams. An adjustable waist belt and suspenders let you customize the fit on the fly.
