Waders are used by fishermen to get in the water without getting wet. Most fishermen who use waders enter inside the water above knee height. At this point, fishermen can also progress further up to a waist level, unlike hip boots. Not all types of fishing require getting inside water. But fly fishing and other similar dynamic approaches and a few areas hard to reach by fishing rod launch might benefit from waders. At the same time, waders offer much-needed thermal comfort while getting inside water. Even during the summer months, water can still be too cold to sit in for a prolonged period. Insulated fishing boots offer thermal protection to allow fishermen to stand in water for hours or even for a whole day.
