Cabela's spring run waders
Im thinking about buying these, but want to know if anyone on here owns a pair of these......the suspenders look real good & the extra insulation in the boots will be nice if it ever get cold out, but im not sure about the grey felt. Is it the same as white felt in terms of durability and grip?

These waders are 5mm neoprene, warm aint the word, there ok for very cold waters, early spring or very late fall . but for all yr use, get some breathables.

5mm neoprene is fine if you can take 5 steps form your truck and fish. Otherwise I'd go breathable and polartec 400 wader pants if you're worried about being cold.

You might want to check out the Cabelas DryPlus Breathables, they run about the same price and have a triple layer knee.. I have the bootfoot style...
For cold weather fishing I have found the lesser $$$ 3mm neoprenes
to be about perfect for staying warm, the 5mm was a bit too much even on the coldest nights while walking any kind of distance on my outings....

These guys are right, breathables are the way to go with some nice fleece pants for liners. Also with the neoprene being so tight it doesn't allow for as much blood flow wich in turn keeps you colder. Something to consider?????

oops....i didnt realize these waders were extra thick. I walk way too much for these ones. I do have a pair of breathables but dont use them much, they started leaking on me right away.
The green field and stream neoprene waders i bought this year from #^&#^&#^&#^&s didnt last much longer 
the search continues......... |

Young Salt, I'm not sure what type of warranty Cabela's has but I can tell you that either ORVIS or SIMMS if the waders leak on you they will repair them or give you a new pair if they can't repair them. and they are not that much more money than the ones you are looking at now.
