Designed for durability and comprehensive protection, Hisea Evos are chest waders providing full waterproofing. Constructed from warm and flexible 4.5mm neoprene laminated to nylon jersey and stretch liner, the waders trap and hold body heat to insulate from icy-cold water. The waders' boots come lined with 600-gram 3M Thinsulate Ultra Insulation to block cold, and sport cleated soles for traction on muddy bottoms. Knees have been reinforced to eliminate worry about tear-throughs when kneeling on a rocky shoreline, while quick-release buckles allow the wearer to get out of the waders in a hurry if need be. A built-in zippered pocket yields storage, while eight shell holders on the front of the waders' hand-warmer keep waterfowl loads close at hand. For more information on these, which come with a lifetime warranty, please visit hisea.com. MSRP: $99.99
