I've got a pair of Orvis and a pair of Cabela's. The Orvis were expensive and leaked after about 8 hrs. When I sent them back they returned them to me saying it was "condensation in the neoprene feet of the wader"-Bulls--t! my leg was wet from the knee down after about an hour- and when I wanted my money back they wanted to pro rate them. So don't waste your money on Orvis's over priced products! The Cabela's, while not the most comfortable out there, are $100 less than most (DryPlus) and don't leak. I've used Revivex on them and on a rain jacket-you activate it with an iron- and had good results.You should buy waders for rock crawlin'/hiking/cold weather big. If you stretch the stitching you can get seepage and you can allmost never track in down. You may not look like you're 'stylin'' but you'll be dry and warm. Get the lace-up bootfoot for sand, I can walk for a couple of hours-to Napatree and back- with no discomfort. Hope this helps.
