1a. Oakiwear Toddler & Children’s Neoprene Waders
MSRP: $79.99 to $89.99
Another junior tester used these waders in 2014 and never wanted to take them off. The one-piece design, which includes built-in boots, is suitable for little ones to get into the waders on their own. The 4mm neoprene kept our angler warm, even in the wind and rain. The front hand-warmer pocket is a nice addition. The high-back wader is completely leak-proof, tough and perfectly suited to youngsters taking up a rod for the first time in Alaska.
1b. Oakiwear Toddler & Children’s Breathable Waders
MSRP: $94.99
These waders are perfect for fishing, hunting, clamming, boating, playing in the rain, mud or water: just about any outdoor activity requiring protection from the elements. They are easy to put on, thanks to the breathable fabric and built-in boots that are neoprene lined. Our 6-year-old tester loves his pair, and we think your kids will, too.
