Building 19 has the Body Glove. Mine was new in the original packaging. $29 for shortys and $39 for the full length. I needed a XXXL (6'2", 230) and Job Lot didn't have my size. I agree on the Building 19 Waders - I wouldn't go near them.

Two answer your second part about going more expensive. Depends on how serious you are, how many trips and under what conditions. My motiviation was wanting to try it a couple of times this season. I have been eyeballing two locations and doing a litlle wet wading with the NRS Wetshoe. So for $39, I'll be able to see if it is for me. If not, I'm not into for too much.

You really need to clarify a few things.
From the sound of your posts it seems to me like you're "wet wading" in street clothes or shorts to reach a certain spot.
When you get there, are you fishing from dry land, or are you still in the water?
How deep do you wade? If no more than waist deep, go with waders. If water will come over the top of your waders, you need a wetsuit.
With a wetsuit, you might be tempted to bite off more than you can chew right now. Keep the fact that wetsuits make no one drown-proof in mind.

i'm wading in around.. little over waist deep. but with some waves, often about lil under chest high will get wet. but at night when it's colder i will only go till about my stomach is wet. i just get a bit greedy during the day. i only wade out to cast. then make the long haul back to shore, to wait. which is where the problem of being wet at night comes into play. the wind is whipping and it's cold. we were shaking like crazy out of the water. another thing is, the crabs come out to play in full force at dusk through night there. i keep getting bit. not to mention all the fun rocks, and shells. so i need some foot protection. i'm close to just wearing my shoes in tonight.
if i got a wet suit, i would keep going out about mid stomach deep. if i got some waders i would go only about waist. no need to push it.
i just want to be warm. three nights in a row of freezing and and carrying and fighting fish and walking around alot is getting incredibly exhausting. it wouldn't be half as bad with out expending all that energy on shivering.
