Advice on Waders

[Biteme]

It looks like your in Cotuit, go down to the Mashpee Commons, to the Orvis store, and buy a pair of breathables. I walk probably farther than I have to on the beach every other night and couldn't imagine doing it in anything other than breathables. The pair I bought last fall cost me about $150 and they are warranted 100% (not pro-rated) for life. They are going through some quality control issues right now and I'm on my second pair, but they say that will be resolved. I'm hoping these are the last pair I have to buy!

Tynan,
Do you have those Cabela's? They've gotten great reviews in a couple places but I have yet to hear any first-hand feedback. If anyone else has them, feel free to chime in.....
Thanks

Those will be my next purchase I have heard good things as well. I really like the idea of the laced up bootfoot. I believe Drumcorpfan has the cabellas that lace up and he loved them.

hodgeman has a pair of laced up boot foot called the lakestream lite.

I agree with "Biteme" that buying locally and actually trying on the waders to get the correct fit is every bit as important as the actual wader selected. If Orvis is nearby, try on their Silver Label Waders (bootfoot, breathable)...I've been very satisfied with them. During early spring and fall, I wear a warm pair of sweatpants and have never been cold in the Silver Labels....in the summer, they are the only way to go!

I used the Cabelas G-II breathables all last season without incident.I'm stepping up to the Gold Medal bootfoot breathables this year for the extra abrasion/puncture protection they offer.I personally will stay away from the laced bootfoots as they can hold sand/debris.
