KingSalmon Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 After 6 years, I think my ol' Hodgman breathables have finally sprung a few pinhole leaks. I was looking at breathable waders online and came across the Scierra CC3 Waist Waders. My question is, does anybody have these? If so, how do you like them? Also, where can you find them in Alberta? I'm sure they don't have any around here (Edmonton). http://www.scierra.com/?product=327 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headscan Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Scierra pulled out of North America a few months ago, but word is they're planning to come back soon. You might be able to find a couple of places that still have some leftover stock, otherwise your best bet is to check online retailers.

darrinhurst Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I know that Wholesale used to carry them. Wanted them myself, but didn't have any in my size. Haven't been there in a while, not sure if they would have any left or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headscan Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Just curious, but why buy a pair of waist high waders and not convertibles? I wear my convertibles as chest waders when it's cold, raining, or for deep wading then just roll them down to the waist on hotter days.

maxwell Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 i prefer waiste highs..... i rarely wade past my knees because i can deliver teh fly too were i need too fish and if i need too cross i find a place easier and less risky.... incase of extreme weather conditions i have jackets, themal underwear, fleece liner hoodie etc.... i feel it is more of a preferance thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingSalmon Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 Thanks for the feedback guys, much appreciated! And Max, that means a lot coming from you cuz I know you fished in em super hard in just a year. Those must be the ones you had when we hit the Bow in the fall eh? Looks like I will be searching overseas like you bhurt...unless someone has some kickin around. Taco: I do quite a bit of wet wading too lol...just not in spring or fall...might be singing in a very high pitch lol headscan: It is just as Max says, I rarely wade past the crotch anyways, so they should be nice for comfort...especially in the summer. If I hit somewhere where I know I'll need the normal waders, my old ones will be there....they are only little pinhole leaks anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taco Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 You gotter Tim, wet wadin' is best kept to less than knacker depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhurt Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 KingSalmon: Perfect on hot summer days, most of the time I just wore my boxers underneithe and I was good to go. I got enough room that comes the cold weather I can layer up and be comfortable. The thing I dig the most is the high gravel guard (JUst below the knees) I absoultly love them, I've nicked them a dozen times crossing barb wire and no leaks yet and in the winter I can slide the gravel guard up slip my waders into my snowboats then pull down the guard and I am nice and warm all day long.

KingSalmon Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 That sounds really durable, which is definitely good to know. Some of the waders out there don't rate too well on the durability scale lol. I think I might have found a place to get them in Canada too...MAYBE...just have to get confirmation...keeping the fingers crossed lol.

jayjjones11 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I was going through the Simms site the other day and noticed that they came out with a new pant wader....gore-tex, so they'll breathe very well edit - heres a link http://www.simmsfishing.com/site/headwaters_pant.html# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverDoctor Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I bought a pair of CC3 waist highs last fall, Max turn me onto them, think I bought the lasts ones. Well build and rugged, perfect size. Really love em. Reserve my high waders for cold weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taco Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 If the Maxxer can get a yr outta them I should be able to get 3'r 4. I'm in, lets put together a group buy. Anyone??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingSalmon Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 That would be great speyghillie! I'd be in for sure! And might have another person interested in a pair as well... On a side note, does anyone know what the foot size is like on the stockingfoot Mediums? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speyghillie Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Hi Guys, Just spoke with Scierra about the waist waders, http://www.scierra.com/?product=327 and the normal retail price $253.66 CND with shipping of around $40.00. I can get them to Calgary for $200.00 CND shipping included. Right now they have them L XL AND XXL... NO M, there are medium in stock at the moment. They also do a CC3 waist wader with boot attached in cleet or felt sole and this they have in Medium. If you want a pair of these waders or any other Scierra products, reels ,lines ect let me know as i can always fit a few in my bag......save on shipping and postage. I hope to be doing an introduction to Speycasting with Scott Mackenzie one evening on the Bow, and a one day Speycasting clinic. the evening is a free event and everyone is more than welcome to come along and see what Speycasting is all about, single and double- handed, i will post the details in the Spey section. We will be havin dinner and a few beers after, so its a chance to talk fishing...or ask about Speycasting or just bullshit about fishin. Gordo.

Saltamontes Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Do they have a sizing chart? I'm 5'9, waist 36 and wear size 9 shoes. I currently wear Patagonias waders in size large. Would a large Scierra fit me alright? Saltamontes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would a large Scierra fit me alright? Saltamontes Saltamontes, I wear a XL size and am 6' 1" and weight roughly 240lbs, so I think a Large would be okay, maybe check serria's web site, but I highly recommend them as I put 125 days roughly on mine and they are still pretty much new, I also wear mine in winter and summer.
