For certain hunts, of course when hunting from a hide or with decoys for waterfowl, having thigh waders or waders is essential, because among
all hunting footwear, simple
hunting boots or
hunting shoes are not enough. Indeed, you need duck hunting waders or thigh waders, which are waterproof trousers for retrieving harvested game, or for placing decoys for example. Thigh waders reach up to the thighs — it’s up to you to judge the depth at which you will be working. Waders, on the other hand, reach up to the chest and allow you to go into greater depths without getting wet. They are equipped with integrated boots and require no additional accessories to be used. Regarding material choice, PVC is fragile and cold, but economical and easily repairable, whereas neoprene waders are warmer and stronger; finally rubber is heavy but very durable. The biggest brands are available: Goodyear, le Chameau et Aigle.
