Duck hunting waders?
« on: September 02, 2008, 01:03:33 PM »
Anyone got a line on where to get waders that are well insulated in the boot for a very small footed woman?  Say a woman with size 6 ladies feet?  Looking for something around 1000gr insulation.  Already checked Cabelas and the local Sportsmans warehouse and they are either too big or only 400gr.  Thanks for the help.

Where the heck are you hunting that you need a 1000g of insulation?  I stood IN the water up to my waist ALL season last year and I have 600 gram 3.5 mm waiters and I was fine.  Unless you are hunting in 25 degree water all day (standing in it) you don't need to go that cold.  But regardless, Sportsman's would be your best bet  :)

Another point...

Warm the core, warm the feet and hands. When snowshoeing and ice camping, we double up on core insulation, warm the core blood in the chest, and your hands and feet benefit immensly. Even one degree temperature of drop in your core blood temp begins to reduce bloodflow to the extremeities.

SilkWWU, virtually anywhere I hunt ducks, the only time I hunt them is if I have to break ice to get the ducks in the water, and yes, we stand in the water, sometimes all day.  Maybe I should have not assumed that by asking for info on waders for a small footed woman, that everyone would know that these waders are for a WOMAN.  You ever tried to enjoy a duck hunt with a woman who has cold feet or is uncomfortable in any way?  Thanks for the suggestions guys.

I'd suggest a pair of breathable wader with heavy polar fleece wading pants and a enough room in the foot for a pair of socks with chemical toe warmers or insoles with toe warmer pockets.  The breathable waders and polar fleece pants make it much easier for a women to walk and climb into a boat or to get down when they need to step behind a bush.  As for insulation I don't care how much you get they're feet will be cold, toe warmers are the only way to go, you can change them out in the field if your going to be hunting for over 5hrs.

After the first shot the rest are just noise.

Hodgman has a line of women's waders:  Hodgdon Waders  with 1000 grams of Thinsulate in the boot and 5mm neoprene.

Where ever you buy them; buy at least a size bigger than her size 6 feet. I wear a thin thinsulate sock; followed by a thick cotton sock; followed by a HEAVY wool boot sock. My normal shoe size is 9 1/2 and I tend to buy size 11 waders; no matter what the rated insulation.

 T-Bones right I have to have some air room in mine to stay warm.
 I did a good job of screwing up a few tendens and what have you. Running in a park bare foot and ran cross a broken coke bottle that went thru the top of my foot. I get cabela's 1600 and if they had a warmer pair I would by them. I stand in water sometimes because it's warmer then the air Those felt bottoms you buy are nice. I have two pair in each boot it's a very big help getting some insulation between the foot and the ground. Doesn't matter what you wear like Ice Man said you have to keep the core warm. I've used the toe and hand warmers and they're great. Now an other thing that might help is slip  a plastic wal-mart bag over her feet if your not walking much. You get in mud and they suck, your feet don't want to stay in the boot but your waders a lot easier to take off and put on. Start off wearing lighter things then ad to as the temp or hunting conditions changes.
Anyone have other tricks lets hear them??

I've used the men's version of these and had pretty darn good luck w/ them.  From 98-06 I duck hunted like a mad man... probably 10-12 trips a year in that span and they just recently started to have some minor problems.  I will likely buy a pair of these again.
