These stockingfoot model features 4mm 3 panel neoprene socks using a new cutting design making them the best fitting most comfortable waders ever. In addition to the high-density sole panel which prevents heel compression leaks this cutting-style tapers the ankles to remove excess material which can otherwise crease up inside wading boots. The 3-panel design ensures all the seams run around and not under the feet for a more moulded fit and added comfort. The integral gravel guards have front lacing hooks and rubberised elastication around the bottm to prevent them riding up when walking.

Material

Snowbee have retained their popular Soft-Touch (ST) material so liked by anglers. What sets this apart from other breathable wader materials is the outerlay which has a 'peach-skin' finish. Not only does this look and feel superb but the finish makes it totally flexible rustle-free and silent. Snowbee have incorporated this into a new unique 3-layer material which takes breathable wader technology onto a completely new level.

This top quality breathable material is a blend of 24% nylon 59% polyester and 17% polyurethane to provide strength and durability. The outer material has a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment rated at L10/80 - meaning it retains 80% of its DWR performance even after washing 10 times. The inner laminate utilises Snowbee's highly reliable Vapour-Tec breathable membrane for superior performance providing a breathability of 4 000g/m²/24hrs and a hydrostatic water pressure resistance (Waterproofness) of 15 000mm.

Design

The STX2 range utilises Snowbee's well proven cutting style and proved to be the best fitting most comfortable waders ever made. Snowbee have combined all the previous Standard FB and Short size fittings into one size chart for convenience.

Over the years Snowbee have learnt that the majority of breathable wader leaks are caused by puncture damage. Needle sharp gorse or thorns can cause pin-pricks in breathable material invisible to the naked eye but so frustrating when entering the water. To help avoid this Snowbee's current models feature a second layer of material wher it is needed most - down the front of the legs from above the knee to the sock or boot join and on the seat of the waders. This additional layer takes the overall thickness up to a class leading 6-layers but by utilising two separate layers they still retain their high breathability - unlike 5-layer materials which have limited breathability.

The twin front pockets are fitted with top quality waterproof YKK pocket zips to provide fly box leader or accessory pockets for those cold spring and autumn days.
