Cabela’s 400 Weight Fleece Wader Liner Review

Cabela’s 400 Weight Fleece Wader Liner Review
If you want to be warm, comfortable and ready to fish in the spring or fall months when cooler temperatures are present then it is important that you dress for fishing success. Although there has been many advancements to sporting clothing in the last few years the basic necessities for clothing haven’t changed much. Staying warm and being functional are still the main priorities. Anglers need clothing that will insulate the body from the cold without packing on bulk. Cabela’s 400 weight fleece wader liners are just such an item. These double fleece liners are comfy enough to wear around the house on a Sunday afternoon but warm enough to keep you fishing during the frozen winter months.

One of the biggest problems associated with wader liners is that many styles do not have any way of anchoring the pants to your leg. Therefore, after a few hundred yards or so of walking you will find the liner uncomfortably creeping up your leg. As the liner creeps higher it also exposes your lower leg to the wader boot (if wearing boot foot waders) and that can cause a major rub point. Cabela’s 400 wader liners have incorporated foot stirrups and elastic lined cuffs to eliminate this creeping problem. As great as the stirrups and elastic cuff band work at keeping your pants from riding up; they work just as well at helping you get into and out of your waders quickly and smoothly. Stocking foot waders and wader boots like we all know can be a bit of a pain to slide on over bulky clothing, but with the elastic cuffs molding to your leg and the stirrups holding your pants in place makes getting your foot into these types of waders a breeze.

The doubled lined fleece construction is also a nice addition to these liners, making them very warm and soft for the angler to wear for long durations while at the same time allowing moisture to be transported away from the skin to the surface where it will dry quickly. Additionally, since this fleece is made of synthetic fibers it will keep its shape, size and color wash after wash, which is nice seeing as this garment will be laundered a considerable amount of times over its useful lifespan.

Last but not least these comfortable wader liners have a zippered rear pocket included into their respective construction. Most anglers simply put their car keys in there fishing vest, never thinking that when they start excitedly rambling through pockets looking for a hemostat or tape measure that they could drop their keys into the river. Having a place inside your waders that stays secure and dry for items like keys, licenses and other hard to replace items is very important and a nice feature of these liners.

Overall, Cabela’s 400 weight fleece wader liners are a product that definitely lives up to what they are advertised to be: A comfortable and warm wader liner that can be used for many cold weather outdoor sports at a very affordable price.
