The bottom line The 35 % weight claim names what it is lighter than, and reinforced heel and toe address where waders actually fail — a well-argued pair.
What the maker puts in writing
Two-layer nylon-PVC, 35 % lighter than conventional rubber waders
Extended knee area for squatting and kneeling
Non-slip sole, reinforced heel and toe for puncture resistance
Adjustable X-back braces with quick-release buckles
Fold-out chest pocket and inner waterproof pocket · several D-rings
EU 45 · usual shoe size; between two, take the smaller
A percentage with a second term
35 % leichter als herkömmliche Gummiwathosen.
Elsewhere on this site a maker claims « at least 30 % more strength » and never says more than what. This one names the thing it is lighter than: rubber waders.
That is the difference between a comparison and a number. It still is not a weight in grams — nothing on this shelf publishes one — but it can be argued with, which a bare percentage cannot.
Heel and toe
Waders are punctured, not worn out. The stone under the heel, the root at the toe. Reinforcing those two places is a specific claim about a specific failure, and it is the only one of its kind here.

The declared figures, and the point they run out

The 35 % weight claim names its baseline — conventional rubber waders

D-rings for hanging a net, forceps or a lanyard, which nothing else here offers

Compromises
No denier and no actual weight in grams — only a percentage
The waterproofing tests are called strict and no standard is named
No EAN published, and priced only in Germany at 52,99 €
Two layers of nylon-PVC insulate no better than one; these are not cold-water waders

Questions that come in about this one
What does 35 % lighter actually tell me?
That the maker is comparing against rubber waders rather than against nothing. It is still a percentage without an absolute weight — no gram figure appears anywhere on this shelf — but naming the baseline is what turns a number into a comparison.
Why reinforce the heel and toe?
Because that is where waders die. The fabric on the leg wears slowly; the toe finds a stone and the heel finds a root, and a puncture is not repairable in the field. This is the only listing here that names those two areas.
What size should I order?
The listing is unusually specific: your usual shoe size, and if you fall between two, the smaller one. Go up only for very thick socks or wide feet. That is more guidance than any other wader on this shelf offers.
Who this one is for
Moving water and long walks, where weight and puncture resistance both count
70D nylon and PVC, stated lightweight and fully waterproof · every seam heat-sealed · non-slip rubber boots for wet rock and muddy banks · stated for men and women · size 42/43 L
A clear 70 denier specification behind a title that names the wrong material.
Best for: Summer wading and pond work, at the lower end of the shelf
