Hi
Does anybody know where I can get some waders (or higher wellingtons) that go above the knee, but not up to the groin?

I wear my, just below the knee, Helly Hansen pvc raincoat for walking the dog but, unless I wear overtrousers as well when it's raining a fair amount, the wind blows the bottom of the raincoat aside (and the water drips off the bottom of the coat) which means that I end up sopping wet from above the knee downwards

Ideally, some waders that go a couple of inches above the knee (say 27 inches or so in height) would be great but the only ones I can find are 'Storm Kings' (maybe made by LaCrosse) from the US which means they'll end up very expensive with shipping & import duties

I know your problem very well because I also wear long raincoats for everyday activities. Finally I bought a long coat from Guy Cotton which can be closed more than other coats.
The only short waders I know about were once made by Tretorn and AFAIK are called "Tretorn Arbeitsmann". Sometimes they appear on the German Ebay.

Thanks for the advice, will have look there

If you are still looking, Hunter did some over-the-knee / short waders called "ostens" but I don't know if they made them in both make and female sizes

Try Acquos

Don't those look rather obviously different from wellies? I think what the OP was looking for was less conspicuous. Though Acquos do look cute, if that's what floats your boat

Hi MuddyKatie
Thanks for the info. I've had a look on the Hunters website and they don't seem to have any longer wellies in men's sizes so I guess I'll maybe have to try Ebay
I ordered a long AJ pvc raincoat from Waterproofs4You so might wait and see if the longer length resolves my problem

my memory is that they were about 6 in above the knee, but don't know if they ever made them for men
