Great spot, thanks for sharing.
You're absolutely right, most companies don't make anything anymore. Sad but true.

I had a pair of Dunlop chest waders care of Gravesham council.. 
They'd been used a far few years before I acquired them
No chance of any water getting through them judging by the amount of Rubber used in there construction. They weigh a ton. No way I could stomp around in them all day.. 
For what it worth i use a pair of prologic light pro i think they call them? Small EVA foam boots, pack down real small. Weigh from memory about 4lb. No problems as yet with them. Dont believe they make them no more. But I have seen something simular. If I can find them I'll put a link up.

If in any doubt drop the guys at Vass a e-mail, the sales guy there is brilliant for advice (can I remember his name  )

Vass waders with the Nash waders horns - brilliant!

The Trakker N2 chest waders are the best I've used.
Cheap at £65 from most shops.
Lightest waders I could find at 2.35kg.
Roll up to a really compact size for transporting.
They're made from a heavy duty nylon above the boot section rather than PVC or rubber so they roll down easily, are easy to pull up and don't seem to suffer as much with moisture/sweat build up.

I went from my Vass Tex 785 waders to Nash ZT HD wide waders and much prefer them. Originally bought the Nash waders as being old, fat and with a bad back I struggled getting into my Vass where the wide version of the Nash waders gave me ease of access. Much prefer them overall they are considerably lighter and easier to handle. They also have padded knees for extra protection.
Dont think they will last as long as the Vass waders but they were also a lot cheaper.

Dunlop. They've been making footwear for 130 years...

I went to the VASS 600 from the 700 to save on weight. Did the job.

That’s a good idea thanks. I don’t _think_ it’s sweat, but you’re right, it’s worth checking properly before I buy new ones

If you are putting yourself into non-breathable waders you'll be surprised how little body heat you need to get damp. The heat from your legs has nowhere to go and it will create a kind of condensation effect hence you get damp clothing.
Your Fox ones probably aren't leaking. If you think they are put them in a bath and looking for bubbles.

For the last few years I have been buying cheap waders through Fishdeal. They have been different makes each time but are made of the same material as Vass, Ocean, etc but thinner and lighter. They only last a couple of seasons but they are cheap, last ones were low thirties, so if I get two years out of them its not the end of the world replacing them.
