What brand are you guys using and how do you like them? What is good about them? What would you like to see changed? I have a pair of redballs, lug soles, I got them two seasons ago to replace my old pair which lasted about 10 years before the buttons rusted off. I love these waders because they don't leak, but they are extremely hot to wear making it rough to wear them and walk any amount of distance when its hot. And they stink!!! I remember my first pair from dicks sporting goods back in about 95. They were rubber.

I've taken a liking to Cabelas waders. They are fairly cheap for what you get, and the way I fish they don't last anyway. I used the neoprenes for 5 years before they started to leak, so for $149 I think it was money well spent. They only leak a little so they still get used when the water temps cool down.
Last year I purchased the Cabelas breathable duck hunting waders. They are still warm to walk in, but much better than the neoprenes. These lasted about a season before they sprung a leak in one of the leg seams. Granted they were not well taken care of and only washed once when I put them away last year. Some aqua seal will likely fix the problem but with the water temps being so warm, the water in my boots has been a welcome surprise once in the water, lol.

waders all suck. haha no but i rarely ever where mine. and i only have breathables. I have a pair of Orvis Pro Guides. they are pricey but good warranty and very durable, only problem is the awful suspender design, anyone who has them knows what i mean. I've had simms, cabelas, redhead, LL bean, patagonia and i think 1 other, and these are my favorite so far. My dad has teh simms freestone zippered ones. and those are pretty nice too.

I own a pair of Albright breathable waders, best $40 bucks I ever spent. Bought them off a guy who's girlfriend bought them and they ended up being too big. Going into my 4th fall with them and no leaks, tears or rips anywhere. The only thing I wish would be different is the stocking boot to be a little bit more snug. Feel it's a bit too big and is a bit of a pain when I zip up my Wader boots.

I am still using the Redballs waders I got back in 1985. I have been looking at the waders from LL Bean, but I am not in a rush.
