At Vision, the 2025 season also kicks off with some exciting new products. Particularly interesting are the innovations in wading gear: A high-performance pair of waders for under €200, the successor to the popular Koski boots, and the "HIKER" version of the flagship MUSTA wading boots. These are just a few of the new products for the 2025 season – and in our eyes, definitely worth a closer look. That’s why we took a closer look at Vision’s latest wading boots and waders and present them to you in these videos.
Vision RIO VANDA – High-performance waders at a fair price
If you’re looking for reliable, comfortable, and affordable waders, you should take a closer look at Vision’s RIO VANDA. These waders combine durable materials with thoughtful features – all at an unbeatable price-performance ratio.
Lightweight, waterproof, and breathable
Made from Vision’s proven 3-layer F3 material, the RIO VANDA offers everything you need for long days on the water: It is pleasantly lightweight, completely waterproof, and highly breathable. The anatomical cut and Minimised Seam™ construction ensure optimal freedom of movement and a modern fit. At the same time, the well-thought-out seam design reduces stress points to prevent premature leakage.
Top-level features
Despite its attractive price, the RIO VANDA boasts features usually found only in higher price ranges. Integrated gravel guards, a wading belt, and a comfortable strap system in a matching color come as standard. Particularly practical is the large chest pocket with a water-resistant zipper, offering ample space for fly boxes, leaders, and other accessories. An additional zippered inner pocket can be easily flipped outward – perfect for important small items. Additionally, two D-rings are attached below the straps, allowing you to secure a zinger or leader dispenser.
A reliable companion for your adventures

Vision Musta Michelin & Koski – Two First-Class Wading Boots for Every Adventure
A good wading boot is more than just a piece of equipment – it is your reliable companion on countless fishing trips and the basic requirement for comfortable wading. With the Musta Michelin Hiker and the Koski wading boot, Vision offers two models that impress in terms of comfort and durability. But which model suits your needs better? We present both options.
Vision Koski – Lightweight, Durable & Maximum Comfort
If you are looking for a robust yet lightweight wading boot with outstanding value for money, the Koski wading boot is an excellent choice. Thanks to its material made of PVC and synthetic fabrics that absorb very little water, it remains remarkably light even when wet and dries particularly quickly.
The boot features a cushioning EVA midsole that excellently compensates for uneven ground, as well as a soft neoprene lining in the ankle area for added comfort. Additionally, reinforced heel and toe areas provide more stability and protect your feet from impacts.
Particularly impressive is Vision’s newly developed, non-slip Rubber 2.0 outsole. It provides excellent grip by flexibly adapting to even the smallest irregularities. If you are moving on especially smooth or slippery surfaces, you can additionally equip the boot with Vision Tungsten Spikes. A felt sole option is also available.
Another advantage: The Koski is designed for long-term durability. The combination of a stitched sole and upper prevents the dreaded separation of the midsole – one of the most common reasons for defective wading boots.
The Koski Rubber 2.0 at a Glance:
- Lightweight yet stable wading boot with modern design
- Made of PVC and other synthetic materials that absorb very little water
- Cushioning EVA midsole for excellent comfort
- Sole and upper stitched together for good durability
- Robust reinforcements in the heel and toe areas
- Comfortable neoprene lining in the ankle area
- Non-slip Rubber 2.0 outsole for secure grip
- Compatible with Vision Tungsten Spikes for wading boots
- Optimized seam placement for good longevity
- Abrasion-resistant nylon laces
- Large heel loop for easy on and off
- Color: green
Vision Musta Michelin – The Performance Shoe for Demanding Wading & Hiking
The Musta Michelin Hiker is a modern wading boot designed specifically for anglers who cover long distances on foot. It is lightweight, only about 12.5 cm high, and made of durable nylon upper material with TPU reinforcements that offer abrasion resistance without adding unnecessary weight.
The highlight of this boot is its Michelin rubber sole, developed in collaboration with the renowned tire manufacturer Michelin. Its profiled grip, inspired by off-road tires, ensures secure footing on slippery rocks, muddy trails, and steep banks. Additionally, the soft rubber compound provides excellent traction on uneven ground – the more pressure you apply, the better the sole adapts. If you need even more stability, you can attach optional spikes to the specially designed recesses.
Thanks to the flexible EVA midsole and the integrated toe cap, your foot remains optimally protected, while the padded ankle area provides comfortable mobility. A wading boot that is ideal for extended hikes and excels in comfort, stability, and durability.
The EVA midsole and the front bumper of the Michelin sole for protection against rocks, etc., are stitched to the shoe’s upper material. This makes the boot not only extremely abrasion-resistant and robust in all terrains but also durable. Thanks to this excellent craftsmanship, the Musta Hiker will faithfully accompany you on countless adventures and hikes over rough terrain.
The Musta HIKER at a Glance:
- Modern wading boot with rubber sole
- Michelin rubber sole with integrated rubber buffer for ultimate grip and wear resistance
- Lightweight and durable
- TPU print for additional abrasion resistance
- Seam grooves to protect the seams
- Recessed positions for optional spikes
