How many seasons do you get out of a pair of waders?

In the fall, this year I bought a pair of neoprenes, although they didnt leak, I sweat so much in them, I was wet anyway.
Not trying to be argumentative, but gettign wet while wading is just something I have come to accept.

I know what you mean. And that's why I bought a wetsuit.

I used to be on a mission to stay dry in the surf, but to some degree I've given up on that as well. In November I start to have a hang up with getting wet though.

I just made it through my 5th season on mine,my sister bought me a pair of Cabelas wet lands 3.5mm neoprene back in 2002.
I mainly use them for the canal I've sat on rocks,nelt on them and even takin a couple of good diggers I've have a couple of pin holes but nothing major.
They still holding up so Im in no rush to buy some fancy Gor-tex one's
