Wader advice.
Just curious what people here prefer for a breathable wader brand, not top of the line but somewhere in the middle. How do the lace-up attached boots compare to the seperate boot?
I need to grab a pair this week.
Thanks,
Jon

the lace up attached boots on the cabelas waders are awesome, but I had to give them up because they don't quite fit right in my shoe size.
and for the record, I have sent them back because of leaks and they replaced them no problem.

I got the orvis silver label felt soles on sale for about $150 (?) or so this winter. Only had em on a few times, but they seem good. Not sure if the sale is still on or if any sizes are left. I was very sad to lose my llbean westbranch with the integrated boot as they were by far the most comfortable for wading that I have worn. If the orvis hadn't been on sale I woulda gone for the cabela's with the integrated, but couldn't justity the difference in price over the orvis.

I've got the LL Bean breathable stockingfoot waders that go for around $80-90, not sure of the model name. I used them all last year and they're great. The only addition I made was to use a neoprene gravel guard under the built-in ones, much better at keeping pebbles out of the boots and actually does quite well with sand as well. I use them with the $60 Cabelas wading boots and the Hodgman studded sandals, a great setup for wherever I want to go.

I also like the ll bean lightweight bootfoot waders for around $160.
Lifetime no questions asked guarantee is good too. There is a fairly new well stocked ll bean store in Mansfield MA.

I got a pair of Cabellas breathable waders at "mid-range" price range last season and they performed very well. Great value.

I like the Bean construction but the fit wasn't right for me. I used Orvis Silver labels for a while and liked the roominess and performance. The beans felt a little short in the inseam.
