Guideline Driva Waders and Alta Felt Sole Wading Boots Offer

Tried and tested by the John Norris Fly Fishing team and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

The Guideline Driva Wader represents a milestone in Guideline's commitment to environmental responsibility. After thorough research, they chose recycled high-tenacity polyester — a fabric that’s both high-performing and made from previously used materials. With a well-articulated fit at the knees and seat, it’s ideal for long, active fishing days, even in warmer conditions. The fabric feels smooth and soft while remaining durable and resistant to wear. Thanks to their Scale™ PRO membrane technology, the Guideline Driva wader offers both excellent breathability and water resistance. The fabric is bluesign®-approved, and has a DWR with no intentionally added PFAS.

The front includes a large storage pocket with a YKK splash-proof zipper and a smaller flip- out pocket, along with hand-warmer pockets for colder days. Two Hypalon docking stations and a Velcro fly patch can be found in the front. The wader can easily convert into a waist- wader thanks to the Elevator Braces™. Anatomical Comfort Plus™ neoprene socks provide a precise fit, available in sizes #9–11 or #12–13 in Driva Large. The hybrid gravel guard combines fabric and reinforced neoprene for durability and stretch, with a hidden hook to prevent line snags. The back of the wader features a D-ring for easy net attachment.

The Guideline Alta NGx Felt Sole Wading Boots are built for dedicated river anglers who demand comfort, grip and durability — especially when covering longer distances along the bank.

Designed for everyday fly fishing, the Alta NGx provides immediate step-in comfort thanks to a supportive instep construction. All internal support materials are made from closed-cell components, meaning they won’t absorb water. This keeps the boots lighter throughout the day while maintaining a secure, locked-in fit.

The outer shell is constructed from tough yet lightweight recycled nylon ripstop, delivering excellent durability without adding unnecessary bulk. Ideal for anglers who walk miles between pools.

Reinforced toe and heel boxes protect high-wear areas, while cleverly debossed stitching channels shield the thread from abrasion — significantly improving long-term durability.

Strategic TPU reinforcements along the lower section of the boot add extra resistance against rocks, gravel and rough terrain.

A supportive midsole combined with a stiff synthetic lasting board provides excellent stability when wading uneven or fast-moving water. The outsole also allows for stud installation if additional grip is required.

The classic felt sole delivers outstanding traction on wet rocks and slick underwater surfaces — making it a trusted choice for traditional river fly fishing.

For increased durability, the felt sole is both stitched and glued to the boot, ensuring long-term performance even in demanding wading conditions.
