Ragot Waders Neo PVC Grey are high-insulation 4mm neoprene waders engineered for anglers targeting rivers, streams, lakes, and coastal beaches during cold weather seasons. Designed to deliver an uncompromising thermal barrier against freezing waters, these chest waders combine thermal efficiency, rugged durability, and ergonomic comfort for long wading sessions.
