Best Waders for Montana Fly Fishing

Choosing your waders can be a daunting task any more with so many great options available today. Today’s fly-fishing wader manufacturers are building quality waders packed with features and technology at a variety of price-points. Here at Fins & Feathers’ Bozeman fly shop, we have worked hard to bring our customers the best selection of fly-fishing specific waders in Southwest Montana.

If you are looking for the newest, most durable waders for fly-fishing then you should take a close look at the following models for 2020 from Orvis, Patagonia, and Simms. These are the best wader options that we have found for both wade and float fishing in Montana.


Simms G4 Waders are available in both standard chest and zippered-chest versions sized specifically for men. The Gore-Tex Pro Shell fabric is the most breathable and durable wader fabric that Simms offers today. Made just down the road from our fly shop, the quality and attention to detail in the manufacturing process is exceptional. Learn more about the Simms G4 and G4 Zip Waders or purchase online.


The Patagonia Expedition Swiftcurrent Waders are new for 2020 and feature a 100% recycled microfiber fabric package and H2NO Performance Standard shell for waterproof breathability. Packed with performance and convenience features, these are the best fitting fly-fishing waders that Patagonia has ever offered. Available in both a standard chest and zip model.

Orvis has stepped up their fly-fishing wader selection to an entirely new level in 2020 with the addition of the PRO Wader to their lineup. The proprietary Cordura fabric package delivers an athletic fit with a 5-layer lower and 4-layer upper construction. The focus for the Orvis PRO Waders has been to emphasize durability and fit in in their most durable, performance wader to date. Learn more about the Orvis PRO Wader or purchase online. The Orvis PRO Wader is also available in women’s sizes.


Each of these waders have proven to be exceptional in countless hours of rigorous field testing by ambassadors and guides. It’s safe to say that we have never seen a better lineup in the performance wader category with high-grade quality being legitimately offered by so many manufacturers. Stop in our fly shop and check out our complete wader selection out in person, we think you will be amazed by the quality and options that each of these waders has to offer. Although they all come with a 60-Day no questions asked return/exchange policy, the best way to ensure a proper fit is to stop in and try them on for yourself.
