The Trakker N3 HD Chest Waders are made from thick, heavy-duty PVC with a 20% polyester blend. The waders are a heavy-duty upgrade from the popular N2S.
The added thickness improves durability and helps retain warmth. They include fully adjustable branded shoulder straps and a clever rear retaining buckle that keeps everything securely in place. Reinforced knees ensure there’s no wear and tear when kneeling.
An internal waterproof chest pocket gives you safe storage for essentials such as your phone or items to tackle out in the water, ensuring these items stay dry and accessible.
The built-in boots have a soft compound sole, with a good, thick grip that feels natural underfoot.
Available in UK sizes 7-8, 9, 10, 11, and 12-13, the Trakker N3 Waders are reasonably priced, too.
Personal Experinece Using Trakker N3 Waders
I mainly use my N3 waders when unhooking, photographing, returning fish and occasionally when I have to get in the water for awkward casts.
The waders fold up nicely and fit in my barrow tidy. They are easy enough to get on and off, and they have always been comfortable and kept me warm and dry when getting in and out of the water and handling fish in all weathers.
Downsides Of Trakker N3 Waders
When setting up in the rain, I pop my waders on with a waterproof jacket over the top. The waders and jacket always keep me dry. However, I sometimes get too warm when moving about/setting up in the rain, as the waders are not breathable.
The white branded straps stand out and are overbranded (like most waders on the market). They would look better if the straps were the same colour as the waders, with more subtle branding.
Summary
The Trakker N3 Waders are good quality, do the job and should last several seasons. They are more heavy-duty than the Trakker N2 Waders and will likely last longer and be less likely to need a repair. Overall, I’m happy with them and would recommend them to other anglers.
