My breathables came with neoprene gravel guards that create a good, tight seal between the waders and boot. I haven't had too much trouble with alot of sand.

Fishpart, I'd be a little leary of the breathables around the rocks. You are doing a little more heavy duty surf fishing than I am and I have a leak after just two seasons. You might shred those fairly quickly down in RI.

I got the White River brand from BPS. I really like them, but 2 seasons isn't very long and I primarily fished from the boat last year. Maybe some of the other brands are tougher, but I'm of the opinion that orvis, bps, cabelas, etc are pretty much the same stuff.

Now who knows what caused the leak, the waders are in great shape overall without alot of visible wear... possible that I stuck 'em with a hook or something last year or in transport or whatever... it is a small leak that I didn't even know about until I took off my waders.

Just my .02 which is probably worth even less these days.
