Question ultra light breathable wading jackets

i was researching breathable wading tops, but have been dissapointed. most coats are really short and look like they only go to waist level which is bad for wading semi deep. i'm looking for something that goes below my wading belt. any recs??

i'd rather not shell out 200 bucks for a coat, but if i have to, i'll consider it. taxes are coming in. maximize those deductions son!

Aquaskinz

Yes,,, That is a Aquaskinz Jacket. Nice light top,,,, I WILL fish with one this year.
It is a thin, light and Durable Jacket

Those guys were great at the SWE show.. Nothing better than putting your hands all over stuff to see if you like it.
