Vision Kura Ultra – The first member of the new Vision's Ultra waders family. These new-era waders have been done with ultrasonic welding technology, which joins fabrics without any stich holes. This enables extremely light waders with durable non-bulky seams (although they are naturally taped inside just to make sure).
The main differences between traditional and ultrasonic seamed waders, from the usability point of view, are the flat seams. There is actually no noticeable difference between the plain fabrics and the seam. Only the additional waterproof inside tape will create a small increase to the thickness. This is quite the contrary to normal seams in waders, where you have a bulky seam with three (3) layers of fabrics plus the additional inside tape(s). In numbers, we can state that an ultrasonic welded seam is always at least 67% percent thinner when compared to normal seams. The bulkiness of a traditional seam causes also a serious non-usability related problem; the big difference in thickness between the plain fabrics and the seam creates a sort of a hinge (joint), which increases considerably the level of abrasion.
On surface Kura Ultra has one large pocket with YKK’s water resistant AquaGuard zipper. Kura Ultra has two additional, smaller water resistant pockets below the bigger one. In addition these waders have a special holder pocket for a pliers or a nipper in front for those of us, who don’t want to wear any carry-ons. These waders have all the other well thought out features like curved NoSeam cut, matching colour belt and braces, D – loops, built-in gravel guards, drying loops, etc.

Selecting correct wader size
It is important to have the right size of waders to get their maximum performance. For example, if your waders are too small it will stress the seams too much and create a great risk of leakage. The first step in choosing is to find out your type of waders.
Vision have grouped waders for Standard, King, Long and Short sizes. If you are of average build, start with Standard sizes. For slimmer and taller builds try Long and for heavier builds use King sizes. Availability of different size groups depends on the wader model.
See the sizing image, which contains measuments marked with letters A-D. In the table you will see these measurements for different wader sizes.
- A: Chest girth
- B: Waist girth
- C: Inseam, measure from the crotch to the end of the sock heel (to the floor)
- D: Wader "height" ie. outseam from top of the wader down to the end of the sock heel (to the floor)
