Dan Bailey Barebones waders are constructed using a three layer waterproof breathable membrane. The outside layer is a soft nylon outer shell, then a breathable coating layer and then a layer of nyon tricot. Suspenders are removable and feature opposite end clasps that alow a quick conversion to waist high waders. The built in side straps eliminate the need for a wader belt while allowing you to customize the fit. Reinforced knee pads add durability. The unique U-shaped foot is a combination of neoprene and hypalon that provides a good fit without all the bulk of a typical neoprene foot. Built in gravel guards come standard. Color: Tan

I bought a pair of these in W. Yellowstone about 25 years ago for $200. I've been using them since--some years 100 trips, some years 10 trips. Many days involved bushwacking. They've finally developed a small, seeping leak near the seam down by the bootie that I'm having trouble fixing, but I'm not done trying yet. These are great waders; I can't see how I could have done better. 'Barebones', maybe, but they've served me well.
Agree with previous sentiment. These are durable, light and good value. I bought a new pair whilst in the USA last year but the previous pair are still in action since 1998 and have served in the pursuit of salmon,trout, bass (sea), geese,duck and hard river maintenance. Faultless .
