    BassBoots
    Indestructible Waders !!
    Much Lighter than anything on the market.
    Made to measure.
    Perfect fit every time.

    One of best new innovative products i've seen.

    For lads who end up buying 2 - 3 pairs of Waders a year they are well worth the spend.

    Unless you put a Bullet through them they will last you for Life !

    I recently seen a 7 year old prototype , apart from the dirt ..they where as good as the new ones on show !
    I tested the different materials with filleting knifes , screw drivers etc.

    I would guess not. Butyl rubber is the same stuff pond liners are made out of.

    Butyl rubber might be waterproof, but it's also a heavy material. It is the same material car and truck inner tubes are made from..

    Think its only the Boot that is made from Butyl rubber.

    Well if the butyl rubber was to be combined with a woven nylon type material, the result could be strong, strong enough to make it thinner, and that would help the weight go down.
    After all many other waders have a shiny waterproof layer outside, and a cloth type inner layer bonded onto it.

    If that is how the boot parts are done, it is a tried and tested design. I presume the upper parts are lighter material.

    So I guess these waders have promise.
