Breathable Waders.
 

Just came in.What a difference.Easy on,easy off.Nice and light.

Gonna get broken in tonight.

its the only way to go IMO.. you'll be happy. if you got stockingfoots, i hope you got studded boots. :boots:

Bootfoot.Cabelas dryplus GIIs.Certainly not bad for the price.

I've found breathables are fine even in sub 50 degree water with just a nice set of fleece long johns. The other bonus is I get to dance around Eben's truck like the fairy princess before I put them on :bl2:

I bought them in a little large just for that purpose.

I was in Sports Authority the other day looking for some shorts, and I got a pair of Proline Breathables for 35.00 It was the last pair they had, for some reason they were marked at 45 and on sale... That is a 90 savings :gu:

A buddy mentioned he was in Building 19 in Weymouth and they had some breathable waders for $20..... While you usually get what you pay for, you can't really go wrong with that price!

You get what you pay for. I bought a pair there and they leaked like a sieve. Bldg 19 took the return, but it wasn't worth the hassle...

I just cut up a set of Hodgman neos I bought there 2yrs ago.Now matter how much patching I did I couldn't get them not to leak.So now the feet I use as inserts to keep my feet warm and the knees as pads for my breathables when I'm fishing "dangerous" areas.

Bldg.19 is a real gamble when it comes to waders.

I've used my breathables in 33 degree water in Januarary on the Salmon river, with fleece pants and long underwear I'm warm as toast. Air temp was in the twenties so the water was the warmer place.

Sure you can--you can have to leave a blitz because you're shaking like a leaf as your body temperature drops and hypothermia is setting in ;)

I've never seen a pair of Building 19 waders that didn't leak like a sieve right from the get-go.

on my 3rd season with building 19 specials, neoprene, just started to leak this year, so $20 for 2 seasons worth of fishing, not bad....I do need to find a decent pair of breathables, anyone got any suggestions ?

I've had good luck w/ the LL Bean Emerger waders.

Ditto on the LL Bean Emergers, not that expensive and carry the Bean warranty. Very easy to patch with the iron on kit.

Although reelecstasy, with the Simms top you'll be looking like a serious Yup...I know I do :smash:
