ok this may sound stupid, but I have been using cabela's "featherweight" waders for about a year and a half and have had no problems with them at all. They were cheap ($50), I have aquaskins (thermal underwear) that I wear underneath them and in the spring water I don't get cold. However, trout fishing in January in 38-40 degree water I got cold after about an hour, but that is a little extreme.
They are made out of a durable plastic/canvas material that I have stuck hooks into, scraped on rocks and they do not leek.
The drawback to this kind is that they are not breathable at all, if I walk a while in them, I take them off and it's like they leeked cause of the sweat! I think I am going to get some breatables though for when I do some hiking to a spot.
