rangfish 1 Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 G'day Guys i am looking to get myself a pair of waders as my others have gotten to small . I am looking at some which are about $80 and the other are a pair of Hornes waders which are about $150. What i would like to find out is would it be worth forking out the extra money for the Hornes waders? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tonka 1 Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 I've got the Hornes and they haven't let me down yet (touch wood)I thought I heard last year they may have been cheaper from the factory? but not 100% sure on this.. (local company) Give them a quick call.They do offer custom fitting for a few $$'s more according to the website. Horne's Waders Good Luck.. rangfish 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tryin2catch1 0 Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Hi rangfish, the Hornes waders are definately the go if you use them a lot. We used to do a lot of fishing and netting in and around the Coorong. The Hornes waders well and truly out lasted all other waders. I personally wouldnt buy any other brand from my own experience, especially if you use them quite a lot. Good Luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites

archerfish 685 Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 I second Tonka's & try2catch1's comments - it's the old "you get what you pay for" rule...Cheersarcherfish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
savage480 1 Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 I have a pair of Horne waders and after a few years of use, one of the clips on the strap broke. I went into the factory to enquire about buying a whole new strap. Within minutes the strap was whisked away out the back and returned with a new clip fitted. Best of all, at no charge!Worth the extra money in my opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MarsOne 137 Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 be sure you do Liam, I went the cheapos first up and regretted it - when they leak around the crutch it isn't fun in the middle of June! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lester 0 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 i've allways had hornes waders,green or black,for some reason the black ones crack if you wear them in a freezer..but otherwise no worries. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Had Hornes since and won't buy anything else. Taken them through hell and back and stil going strong. I did modify mine though.... when I first got them the back clips kept popping out which was extremely annoying. Rectified with some liquid nails and never another problem since.

penthrox 0 Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Myself and my missus both have hornes waders and have never had a problem! Get the owner or his daughter to fit you and perfect Never had a problem with mine. We both have blundstones on the waders though not the pimple soles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
coonta kinta 1 Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Des & Penthrox are right.The stores will hate me saying it, but if you buy direct from the factory, they can be custom made at NO ADDITIONAL COSTBoth Dave & Penny are top people to deal with & are always keen to ensure they have happy customers.Like many others, its Hornes for me or nothingAlso worth noting that the same applies to wet weather gear, as things are made on site they can be custom made to FIT YOU Quote Link to post Share on other sites
