It is worth mentioning that the lower body portion of the wearer's body is those part of the body which immerse into the water (i.e. below water level) when the wearer uses the present invention for, say, fishing. On the contrary, an upper body portion of the wearer is those part of the body which is above the water level when the wearer wears on the wader of the present invention. As such, the lower portion of the wearer's body will subject to water pressure which tends to press the wader against the lower portion of the wearer's body.
  • According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the wader body 10 is shaped and sized to have two leg portions 14, a waist portion 15 upwardly extended from an upper end of the leg portions 14 for wearing on the wearer's waist, and two enclosed foot portions 16 provided at lower ends of the leg portions 14 for sealingly receiving the wearer's foots respectively. In other words, when the wearer wears the wader of the present invention, his or her waist, legs and foots are isolated and protected from external environment.
  • In other words, the wader body 10 has an upper opening portion (comprising the waist portion 15) and two bottom enclosed portions (comprising the two leg portions 14 and the two enclosed foot portions 16) extended therefrom, wherein the air ventilating channels 21 are formed on the inner lining 12 and extended from the upper opening portion of the wader body 10 to the enclosed portions thereof in such a manner that the wader body 10 enhances air circulation within the enclosed portions through the air ventilating channels 21 during body movement of the wearer.
  • It is worth mentioning that in order to achieve the weatherproof and heat insulation capabilities of the wader, the heat insulating layer 13 is preferably embodied as being manufactured by neoprene which is a synthetic polymer resembling rubber, and is resistant to oil, heat, and weathering. On the other hand, the waterproof outer layer 11 is preferably embodied as waterproof fabric such as nylon which is capable of blocking water from penetrating through the waterproof outer layer 11. The inner lining layer 12 is also preferably embodied as weatherproof fabric (such as nylon) which is capable of resisting environmental adverse effect as well as imparting optimal comfort to the wearer of the wader by its inherent elasticity.
  • The air ventilation arrangement 20 further comprises an air retention rim 22 provided along the top edge of the waist portion 15 of the wader body 10, wherein the air retention rim 22 has an air receiving cavity 23 formed therein to communicate with the air ventilating channels 21 extended along the inner lining 12 of the wader body 10 in such a manner that air within the air receiving cavity 23 is allowed to circulate in the air ventilating channels 21 for providing adequate air ventilation for the wearer. In other words, circulation of air between the air ventilating channels 21 is made possible via the air retention rim 22.
