I plan on ordering a set of chest waders from BPS online but I do not know how to size them. I am 6' 1" tall and weigh about 210. What size would I need? I know there has to be someone about my size that uses waders so any help would be great.

It's worth going there and trying them on in person. When I purchased mine, I was shocked at the size I needed. I'm 5'10" at 185 and I needed an XL.

I just bought waders at Bass Pro Shop a few days ago, I am 6 foot and weigh about 250 and I fit in an XL. I got the Red Head brand, about 60 bucks. I will be using them for the first time this Thursday. Your best bet is to try them on yourself because different brands may fit differently.

I ordered a pair of Hodgman Weir Breathable Zip-Front Waders using the BPS sizing chart and the chart was VERY ACCURATE.

Here's a link to the ones I ordered and BPS has added my review of the product which included my comment about sizing accuracy....

I got XXL and they are a bit tight. I'm 6-3 240. I got Hodgman for $65. Try them on first.

I'm 5'8" 220 and got the Hodgman XL. But you really should try them out first, like others have said.
