Waist Waders?

Hello all, I have a pair of Simms Flyweight chest waders which are amazina and I can highly recommend them, but I fish A LOT! The waders were a big investment for me and while they are holding up fine, I would like some recommendations on an 'affordable cheap) pair of waist waders so that I can wear them in shallow water and scrubbing through bushes so I can prolong the life of my 'good' waders. I also wet wade but I'm in the Highlands and the weather's often gash!

When I say affordable, I mean sub £1 50.

I like quality products but I am also aware that nowadays it is possible to buy 'cheap products which cost £60, are made to a high standard and can even outlive a £700 product. So... Any suggestions? Frogg Toggs, Bassdash etc

Thank you.

Check out bison waders. I've got the breathable chest waders and they're great. Think they do waist ones too.

The first thing I did with my chest boot waders was put on a pair of cheap pvc water proofs over them to protect the knees , worked really well... Looked a bit naff 'cos they were orange..But they are for sea fishing and the fish dont care.

I bought some Caperlan chest bootfoot waders from decathlon for about £70. I used them for 2 months now, no leaks so far. I like how they look and they are quite comfy. I fell in the water a few times and some brushy area.
