Finntrail WADEMAN Khaki 1524 Waders
Membrane chest waders that keep you dry even standing waist-deep in the river. A 4-layer HARD-TEX® membrane with DWR and TEFLON™ finishes, fully taped seams, integrated neoprene socks and a spacious chest pocket with a YKK® zipper: 20,000 mm protection from water that still breathes and lets you move.
Who they are for
Made for the angler and ATV rider who needs reliable, breathable protection from water and mud when wading into a river or riding through wet terrain.
- •Wading and fishing, when you need to go deeper and stay dry.
- •ATV or boat use, where protection from splashes and mud matters.
- •Colder seasons over a thermal base layer, when the membrane must both breathe and keep water out.
When they shine
They perform best in a cold spring, autumn and cool summer days by the water, when you need to wade in and a plain rubber wader leaves you sweaty inside or restricts movement.
Technical specs
Materials & technology
HARD-TEX® 4-layer membrane
A microporous membrane with billions of pores smaller than a water drop and larger than a vapour molecule: it stops water from outside yet lets sweat vapour escape, so you don’t overheat even standing in water for a long time.
DWR and TEFLON™ finish
A thin water- and dirt-repellent finish on the outer layer: water beads and rolls off, the fabric wets out less, dries faster and stays cleaner.
Fully taped seams
Taped strips seal the needle holes, and the inner legs have as few seams as possible, so water cannot get in through the seams.
Integrated neoprene socks
Snug neoprene socks warm and protect your feet; you choose wading boots to match your size and the bottom type.
YKK® zipper
A Japanese zipper with a patented tooth shape: smooth action and reliability on the spacious chest pocket.
Reflective elements
Light-reflecting elements for better visibility at dusk and in the dark by the water.
How they differ from a cheaper option
Care
Hand wash up to 30 °C with a dedicated membrane wash (Mountval Wash & Care), without softener or bleach: ordinary detergent clogs the membrane. When water stops beading, restore the water repellency (DWR) with an impregnator (Mountval Textile Shield). Dry naturally, not on a radiator or in the sun. Rinse the neoprene socks with fresh water after fishing and dry them well.
Frequently asked questions
Are boots included?
No. The WADEMAN comes with integrated neoprene socks, and you choose wading boots separately. The neoprene socks protect and warm your feet, while proper wading boots give you grip and protection on a slippery bottom.
Do the waders breathe, or will I sweat?
They breathe: breathability is 7,000 g/m²/24h. The 4-layer HARD-TEX® membrane lets sweat vapour out while keeping water off from outside, so you stay dry inside even when active.
What is the waterproof rating?
The membrane is 4-layer HARD-TEX®, water resistance 20,000 mm, breathability 7,000 g/m²/24h, seams fully taped, surface treated with DWR and TEFLON™ finishes.
Are they good for both fishing and ATV?
Yes. These are versatile membrane waders for fishing and wading, as well as ATV or boat use, where protection from water, splashes and mud matters. For hard off-road obstacles, choose heavier-duty protection.
What should I wear underneath?
In colder weather, wear a thermal base layer under the waders. The membrane breathes, so sweat escapes while the base layer keeps you warm when standing in water.
What about warranty and returns?
We offer a 2-year warranty, you can return within 30 days, and delivery from our Vilnius warehouse is free with a tracking number.

Water resistance20 000 mmHow to Choose the Correct FINNTRAIL Wader Size?
Choosing the correct wader size is one of the most important factors for comfort, freedom of movement and long-term durability. Waders that are too small may restrict movement and place excessive stress on seams, while oversized waders may reduce comfort and make active movement less efficient.
FINNTRAIL waders are designed to provide enough room for thermal and insulating layers while maintaining complete freedom of movement. Therefore, the size chart is based on body measurements, not the actual dimensions of the waders.
Measure Your Largest Girth
The first and most important measurement is your largest body girth. In most cases, this is either your hips or waist/stomach circumference, depending on which area is larger.
Measure: around the widest part of your body while keeping the measuring tape comfortably snug without tightening it.This measurement usually determines whether your waders will remain comfortable while walking, sitting, climbing or taking large steps.
Measure Your Inseam Length
The second important measurement is the inseam length.
Measure from the crotch down to the ankle along the inside of the leg. This measurement helps determine whether the wader length will be suitable for your height.
Important: If you are taller or shorter than average for your body circumference, consider choosing extended sizes (ML, LL, XLL) or wider sizes (SK, MK, LK, XLK, XXLK).FINNTRAIL Wader Size Chart

If You Are Between Two Sizes
If your measurements fall between two sizes, it is generally recommended to choose the larger size.
- Provides additional room for thermal clothing and extra layers.
- Allows greater freedom of movement while fishing or riding off-road.
- Reduces stress on seams and membrane materials during active use.
Recommendation Before Ordering
Best results: Provide your height, largest body girth and inseam measurement. Based on these measurements, the most suitable FINNTRAIL wader size can be selected accurately.If you are unsure between several sizes, we recommend contacting us before placing your order. This helps avoid exchanges and ensures maximum comfort from the very first day of use.
Summary
To accurately choose your FINNTRAIL wader size, you need three key measurements: height, largest body girth and inseam length. Selecting the correct size ensures comfort, unrestricted movement, efficient layering and a longer product lifespan.
Product Care Instructions
- Wash membrane clothing only with special detergents, such as Mountval Wash & Care, at a temperature no higher than 30 °C, without fabric softeners or bleach.
- After washing, restore water repellency using Mountval Waterproofing Refresher (wash-in) or a spray-on impregnation, following the product instructions.
- After impregnation, allow the product to dry naturally.
- Repair minor membrane damages with special glue, such as Aquaseal / Aquasure, only on clean and dry surfaces.

Membrane waterproofing and breathability
Membrane fabric is usually described using two numbers, often separated by a slash: waterproofness and breathability. The first number indicates waterproofness, the second indicates breathability.
?Waterproofing
This is a sliding scale measured in mm that shows how high a column of water you can suspend over the membrane before it starts to let moisture through.
Waterproof Rating Conditions 0–10,000 mm Light rain, dry snow, light pressure. 11,000–15,000 mm Moderate rain, average snow, light pressure. 16,000–20,000 mm Heavy rain, wet snow, some pressure. 20,000 mm+ Heavy rain, wet snow, high pressure. ?Breathability
This is the amount of moisture by weight that can pass through one square metre of fabric over a period of 24 hours. It is commonly measured in g/m²/24 hrs.
Breathability Rating Level of Breathability 0–5,000 g/m²/24 hrs Low – light exercise. 5,000–15,000 g/m²/24 hrs Medium – medium to high energy activity. 15,000 g/m²/24 hrs+ High – vigorous sustained activity.
