Disadvantages: May not be durable in extreme environments.
Application scenario: Suitable for general fishing, camping, and other activities.

PVC material

Advantages: low price, excellent waterproof performance, good wear resistance.
Disadvantages: relatively heavy; poor air permeability; long-term wearing may lead to heat.
Application scenario: suitable for use in cold water or bad weather, suitable for heavy industrial environments.

Rubber material

Advantages: Excellent wear resistance and water resistance, suitable for harsh conditions.
Disadvantages: relatively heavy, poor air permeability, limited flexibility of activities.
Application scenario: Suitable for extreme environments such as heavy industry and fishing.

Neoprene material

Advantages: Excellent insulation, suitable for cold waters, good elasticity.
Disadvantages: high price, poor air permeability, long-term wearing may feel hot.

Budget: According to the budget, considering the cost performance, choose the products that meet the needs.

Water wader production process

1. PVC material

Process: usually the combination of sewing and the high-frequency hot pressing method. High-frequency hot pressing is used for joints to ensure water resistance.
Features: PVC fabric is thick and has strong wear resistance, but the air permeability is relatively poor.

2. Nylon PVC coating

Process: Nylon fabric is first treated with PVC coating, then cut, stitched, and then reinforced by high-frequency hot pressing joints.
Features: light and has good flexibility, suitable for a long time wearing, good water resistance.

3. Rubber material

process: A more pressing molding process, which usually does not need sewing, directly forms the overall structure.
Features: excellent waterproof performance, but relatively heavy, poor comfort.

4. Neoprene (Neoprene)

Process: The combination of high-frequency hot pressing and sewing ensures the joint is firm and waterproof.
Features: Excellent thermal insulation performance, suitable for cold waters, but the cost is relatively high.

Conclusion

When choosing fishing wader, it is very important to consider the influence of the material and its production process on the characteristics of comfort, wear resistance, water resistance, and so on, and different materials are suitable for different use scenarios and needs.
