Wader Question

[lamigsb1]

I have no experiance with the zip front waders. I have good luck with llbeans. All waders will leak eventually seems to me that adding more areas that can leak doesn't seem like a good idea in the salt. So i buy the mid grade waders and really the customer service and beans warranty is what I spend my money on.

same here. I have the stocking foot Emergers and really like them. I get them a little bigger than my actual size so that I can move around in them better. Find they don't leak as much because they aren't as tight to my body.

I have them paired with the River Treads boots. I like this boot, the little studs are fine for most of the fishing I do and they are easy to hop rocks in. I just hate the new BOA system on them. When sand gets in there it locks up and I don't trust the thin wire. I wish they still made that boot with laces instead...

I only use mine a few times a year, so I don't feel like buying new ones.
I sealed my rubber ones up with Gorilla Glue; works pretty good, but leaves tacky looking white streaks on 'em. I then put in a trash bag for each foot to catch any residual leakage. Together, this works pretty good. Better than blowing $$$ on new ones.

Ditto. I love the Bean waders, have had no issues in 5 years with their stocking foot breathables and just bought another pair for backup.
