Waders, felt soled boots, and korkers
My friend wants to get some waders , felt soled boots and some korkers. I was wondering where is a good place that is reasonably priced to get them? He wanted to get breathable waders. He checked out saltwater edge , but they wanted like $250 for waders, anywhere else a little more reasonable?
Thanks

If it were me i'd go with LL bean. Can't beat the warranty. have him get the studded aquastealth boots, he'll thank you for it when he forgets his korkers and you cant tell the studs are on those boots half the time..verrry comfortable.
Get the korkers from Joe of course  :

Yeah, they're ok if you don't mind a wet crotch.  Wore mine about 6 times and sprung a leak at the seam. I brought them back to #^^^^&'s and they gave me a new pair. I'll see how long these last.

Korkers = Me
Korkers
I just added some instructional images and video to that page to better illustrate the need for Korkers
My Korker 5000's are all sold out - The guy said they are going out today from Oregon...
They should be re-stocked by next Wednesday...
The 1100's are in stock...
Here's a guy I shot pix of fishing at Hazard Ave in Naragansett - without Korkers....not too bright
Look Ma, No Korkers!
