Wading and So Much More!

When it comes to kids, fishing is only one thing on a long list of activities waders come in handy for. Think of the possibilities! Kids love to get dirty - especially muddy. We know all that dirt is good for them, somehow, but it's not so good for moms and dads to clean up, and ruins clothes faster than anything. Waders accomplish a few things:

1. They're warm
2. They spray off (no laundering) and are naturally antimicrobial.
3. They're flexible and comfortable.
4. They're versatile. Kids don't have to take them off every time they change activities.
5. They're protective. Having a 3.5 mm neoprene coating on really guards against scrapes and scratches.
The neoprene stretches and grows with the child better than most clothing items. The boot is neoprene lined, and can be worn with or without socks. It also stretches some giving them maximum comfort as they reach the upper limit for a particular size.
Waders are an investment in a child's education. They allow them to explore comfortably, safely, cleanly and happily. When kids are outside, their minds develop in so many ways. Imaginative play, building, sounds of nature (even in your back yard!), encounters with wildlife, and so much more shape a child's mind. Outdoor experiences contribute to their sense of well being, heighten their senses, and make then healthier physically and emotionally. "Being in the wild somehow takes the wild out of them." Richard Louv (Last Child in the Woods)
