Bassdash Waders

What Bassdash sells on Amazon US

Bassdash is an outdoor brand that sells waders, wading boots, jackets, vests, apparel and tackle. According to its own story page it was founded in 2018 and says it wants to guide anglers and hunters toward nature, adventure and personal challenge, with an emphasis on performance and eco-friendly materials. The page does not name a headquarters city. The brand also sells through regional storefronts for the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico and the United Kingdom.

At our last check (October 2026) we track 31 Bassdash listings on Amazon US. Twenty-two are waders, six are vests or packs, two are wading boots and one is a wading jacket. In the table above, each value carries a mark. "Maker" means Bassdash's own product page states it. "Claimed" is a manufacturer claim with no named test. "Listing" is what the Amazon listing says, and a dash means we could not confirm it and will not guess. For Bassdash, the "listing" mark appears a lot: the foot type, height and fabric class come from Amazon in most rows, while layers, waterproof ratings and breathability figures come from the maker's product pages where they exist.

Here is how to read the waders. Twenty-two are split almost down the middle: eleven stockingfoot pairs (a neoprene sock with separate boots) and eleven bootfoot pairs (a boot built in). Among the bootfoot group are seven breathable pairs, two neoprene pairs and two nylon and PVC pairs. The table filters by foot, material type and fit, so you can narrow them down in a few clicks.

The lines and who each suits

IMMERSE. The IMMERSE name covers men's and women's stockingfoot waders, a tan-and-dun colorway, a bootfoot ripstop pair in grey camo and a Moss Wood version, and a wading boot. The maker pages list a three-layer fabric, a waterproof rating of 15,000 mm for the stockingfoot versions and 20,000 mm for the bootfoot ripstop version, and breathability of 4,000 or 5,000 g. The stockingfoot versions list attached gravel guards (a cuff that seals the top of your boot against sand and gravel) and a 4.2 mm neoprene bootie in some listings. I'd start here if you want a stockingfoot wader for general river use, because the maker gives the most numbers for this family.

Veil. The Veil camo waders come as a stockingfoot and a bootfoot, both with the DESOLVE Veil camo pattern, a three-layer fabric and the same 15,000 mm and 5,000 g figures. They are sold for fishing and hunting. A camo wader suits a duck blind more than a trout stream, though fish are not known for paying attention to either.

VORTEXIS. A zippered family. The stockingfoot VORTEXIS lists a front zip, a convertible chest-or-waist cut, a 20,000 mm rating, 5,000 g breathability and a 4 mm bootie. The bootfoot version lists the front zip and a breathable fabric, but we have no layers or rating for it. Front zips make a wader easier to get on and off, and add one more thing that can leak.

FW series. The FW08, FW09, FW11 and FW13 are lower-detail listings. The FW09 is wading pants, a waist-high stockingfoot pair, and the FW13 is a PVC bootfoot chest wader. The FW11 comes in stockingfoot and bootfoot versions in Grunge Camo. The FW16 is a women's neoprene chest wader with 600 g boots. These are mostly Amazon listing values.

Neoprene and PVC. The neoprene chest wader with rubber boots lists 4.3 mm neoprene, insulation and reinforced knees, all from the listing. The 3D PVC Game Wader is a nylon and PVC boot foot pair. PVC waders are tough, but they do not breathe at all. You'll feel that in warm weather.

Convertible. The Convertible Breathable Wader in Khaki is a stockingfoot with a convertible chest-to-waist cut, a three-layer fabric, a 15,000 mm rating and 4,000 g breathability per the maker. Convertible means you fold the top down to wear it at waist height on warmer days.

Jacket, boots and vests. The Walker-LW wading jacket is the one jacket, with a three-layer fabric, an 8,000 mm rating, a fixed adjustable hood and several pockets. The two wading boots both have rubber soles. The six vests and packs are the FV series: the FV01 and FV07 list 18 pockets, the FV08 is a hybrid chest pack vest with 10, the FV09 is a youth vest, and the V1 and FV14 are utility vests. Eighteen pockets is a lot of places to lose one fly box. See our fly fishing vests section for other options.

How to read the numbers

The waterproof rating is a column height. It is the height of water, in millimeters, that a fabric can hold before water starts to pass through in a lab test. Bassdash gives numbers but does not say which test it used, so I treat them as claims, not as measured results. A higher figure suggests a more water-resistant fabric, but a wader leaks at the seams, the zipper and the knees long before the fabric gives up. Breathability, in grams, describes how much water vapor passes out through the fabric in a day. Again, no test is named.

Layers: three layers usually means a face fabric, a membrane and an inner liner bonded together. It is a common build, and here it is a manufacturer claim. See our breathable vs neoprene waders guide for how to pick a type.

Who should buy a Bassdash wader, and who should skip

Buy one if you want to try wading without committing to a long warranty, if you fish warm or moderate water and want a stockingfoot wader, or if you need a camo pair for casual hunting. The IMMERSE stockingfoot waders have the most maker data. Skip them if you want a wader with a long warranty, if you need a stated test behind the waterproof rating, or if you plan to wear the same pair for many seasons in rough country. Six months is the warranty on the page I read, and it is worth a thought before the first season ends.

Warranty

The Bassdash warranty page gives waders a six-month warranty. Waders that leak because of a defect in materials or craftsmanship are replaced at no charge. The page excludes normal wear and tear, accidental damage, corrosion and neglect, and says punctures can be fixed with the repair kit included with the product. For abuse or misuse, Bassdash says it will contact you and may offer a replacement at a reasonable charge. The page does not describe a claim process, so start with the Contact Us link on the site. Nets, rods, backpacks and apparel carry a 30-day limited warranty. For wader repair at home, see our leak-finding guide.

Sizing

Bassdash publishes a waders sizing guide. It asks for five measurements: chest at the fullest point, waist, hips, inseam and the length of your longer foot. The guide says to measure while wearing the layers you will wear in the water. It suggests a wader should be roughly 6 to 10 inches larger than your chest and waist measurements and 2 to 3 inches longer than your inseam, and that you should size up if you fall between two. With neoprene socks or thick thermal socks, it adds about 0.2 inches to the insole measurement.

The size names are the tricky part. Bassdash listings use labels such as Small 7-8, Medium Long 8-9 or Large Short 9-10, where the number is a foot size range and Short, Long or Tall indicates the leg length. The guide text I read does not explain these names, so compare them with the chart on the maker page. I did not read enough Amazon reviews to summarize fit, so the maker's chart is your guide.

Wear a wading belt over any chest wader. If you fall in, a belt limits how much water flows in, and a flooded wader is very heavy. Practice standing up in shallow water first.

Other brands

If you are comparing several brands, our best budget waders page picks by a fixed rule rather than by brand. For fly fishing specifically, see best fly fishing waders and our stockingfoot waders page. If you want a brand with a longer warranty, the waders hub has the full set.
