Benefits of technology

The invention provides a wader with several advantages such as being warm and comfortable for the wearer, having a simple construction, and being easy and cost-effective to manufacture. The wader has a two-layered garment with an interior tricot fleece layer and a chemical coating for enhanced thermal insulation. The external layer is affixed to the interior layer with a glue coating that is breathable and waterproof. The invention simplifies the overall structure of the wader and minimizes manufacturing costs.

Problems solved by technology

A major disadvantage of the above-mentioned conventional waders is that the elasticity of the three-layered wader structure is low.
Therefore, the wearer may feel uncomfortable and difficult to have a body movement.
However, it will make the wader heavier.
The manufacturing process for making the three-layered wader structure is complicated because the outer layer, the middle layer, and the inner layer must be laminated with each other layer-by-layer.
Also, the durability of the wader is a common problem to keep the layers together and to perform their own functions for providing a breathable ability to enhance the comfort for the wearer and for keeping the water away from entering into the inner layer at the same time.
In particular, the main disadvantage of conventional wader is not to perform warm function when fishers stayed long period in river.
The improved construction of the conventional wader could have waterproof and breathability function with light material but didn't keep the wearer warm.

Abstract

A waterproof, windproof, breathable, and thermal insulated wader is being constructed to have an exterior layer having water repellent, wind and environmental resistance, and an interior layer overlapped on the exterior layer, wherein the interior layer comprises an interior tricot brushing with thermal insulated fabric. The wader further has a glue coating affixing the exterior layer at the interior layer, wherein the glue coating has a plurality of microporous formed between the exterior layer and the interior layer to provide breathable and waterproof function.
