Wadelite waders are good. I’m not sure of the warranty. The warranty on breathables is a huge concern because they all will leak or tear eventually (unless you are a “beach only” angler).
Orvis used to have a warranty on their breathable waders that descended 20% each year after year one - but they changed that last year, and now they are guaranteed for life. I use the Orvis Silver Label boot foot with studded felts and I have no complaints – the lifetime warranty makes the purchase less painful over time. I have returned mine, and they replace them no questions asked with no shipping costs on the replacements. At the end of each season, Orvis discounts their waders on their website but that does not do you any good now.
