Post by: Pat AV on July 30, 2006, 08:11:41 AM

Westcoast tackle on Broadway St in Vancouver is the only shop that carries Patagonia. They go for about $525. Check out patagonia.com for warranty.

Fishfinder, I believe you have Westcoast Tackle confused with Angler's West, which is the only Patagonia fishing apparel dealer in the greater Vancouver area  ::)
Pat Av, there are two models available from Patagonia: Watermaster and Watermaster Light. The Watermaster's are around $525 and the Watermaster Light's I think are around $330. I have a pair of Watermaster Lights, but haven't had them long enough to really test them out yet. They are comfortable and light weight. I've heard goods things about Patagonia's warranty, like fast and prompt service  :)

Thanks for the correction Chrome  Mykiss. Yes, it was Anglers West I was thinking of.

The last time I was at Hub Sports in Abby, they had a few of these waders in stock.

Thank you, 525 way too much for my dutch blood! I heard they were a more affordable option in high end waders.

thanks for the advice anyway!
