I don't wear waders as often fishing the Canal as I did when I lived on LI.
In the past, I got about 7 years out of Gra-Lites. Those were the longest wearing ones I ever owned, considering how often they were used. My current pair of Orvis Pro Guides has lasted a long time, but they have seen a fraction of the use of my Gra-Lites.
I got maybe 3 years out of Red Ball Masters.
Neoprenes? Every pair that I used heavily lasted about a season and a half. I currently use them only for shellfishing from October thru May.
