Breathable waders
 

I'm in the market for a pair of breathable waders. I need recommendations. Price, comfortability, and reliability are the big factors. I already have a pair of neoprenes for the cold weather, I just need some breathables for teal and if we have another mild winter like last year.

Academy in lake Charles and probably other stores is having 50% off all Hodgman products. Picked up some nice breathables for 25 bucks yesterday!

I duck hunted in my Magellan mag2s all season last year.

Get you a pair of Simms, you won't regret it

Dang. I need that!

I'm telling you, you'll never wear neoprene again. Spunt Drag will cause he would get cold on a 60 degree day.:smokin:

I got drakes and they are very comfortable and I hunt in them yr round and this yr will number 5 with no hole!:fingers crossed:

I'm talkin bout the $25 business. That's all me. I don't need no $200 name brand crap.

Those hip or chest? I am gonna have to go get some either way.

I'll try hit up Academy this evening if I don't work too late but I'm sure they're out of all the good deals by now.

Chest they didn't have many left seems like people were cleanin em out lol but there nice hodgmans with waterproof pockets on the front. There dark green too which is a plus for hunting

All that's left is stocking foot type and in any real man sizes and I don't think they would hold up in the woods I hunt

Ugh. I don't do stockings

Hodgman wade lites are super light and very comfortable. I hunt in mine all year. ill never go back to neoprene. You can move around in them better, can slide over your cloths easier, and they kept me warmer than my neoprene did because they dont sweat.

Maybe G&H in Gueydan will have a nice spread, I just don't wanna pay $280 for some brandname like Drake or something.

I prefer stockings especially when walk-in hunting because of the lighter weight and easier to move around in in general

LaCrosse Alpha Swamp Fox Breathable waders.
$199.99 best money you will ever spend!!

buy some dem simms waders they more but not a better wader period and lifetime warantee

cabelas brand waders are lifetime warranty too btw

SIMMS
They only give a life time warranty on the G3's and up since they are Gortex. Best service in the biz hands down.

real men duck hunt bare footed.

You just wear regular hunting boats with them? How do they hold up to branches and such?

I have a pair of the cablas waders and never have a problem with them. I only wear them when it's rainign other than that i wear lacrosse knee boots.

I have a pair of the cabelas dry plus breathables...they are held together with shoe goo and rubber parts....lol they do not leak but geezz they last one season. Now as far as comfort...they are awesome like a pair of sweatpants.

I purchased the cabelas warrior which are half neoprene and the dry plus material...they lasted all last season so no complaints....caught'em on sale.

Just get a gatortrax with a pop up blind then you won't need any waders!;)

I wear wading boots, the neoprene/rubber zip up type. And I'm a marsh hunter mainly so sticks aren't to big of an issue. I wouldn't recommend em for hunting in the woods

Kinda what I thought

I just wear wading boots with rubber soles. Look like hiking boots. This is an example

I love mine. So comfortable!

I went with the Lacrosse Alpha Swampfox's. Came in the evening and tried em on in the house. Very comfortable, but the accessories like the pockets, shoulder strap snaps, and velcro feel cheap. Boot size was pretty spot on. I'm ready to baptize em on the 15th!

Gonna love em

good deal!

Cabela's or Simms. Why wouldn't you buy a pair with lifetime warranty. I am on my 4th pair of Cabela's Dry Plus. I treat them like crap. And send them back after the season and get a brand new pair. Doesn't get any better than that. ALL cabela's brand footwear is lifetime warranty.

Sooooo are u saying they leak every year? If that's the case I would rather not go through the hassle of leaky waders every season.

This tends to cause retailers to modify their return policy eventually because they can't loose money forevah. SIMMS does have a lifetyme warranty but there are exclusions in the fine print. I have had great customer service from SIMMS and want it to be around when there is really a problem.

What do you do for a livin RBF?

That lifetime warranty isn't bulletproof, and as already stated, taking advantage of it does get passed on to the consumer eventually.

Reminds me of a democrat!
