Wader advice.

[Circlehook]

Sounds like LL Bean is the way to go. I will check them out this weekend.

What are some things to look for when buying breathables? I have never bought any before.

Thanks for the responses.

i'd recommend seperate waders and boots. your more likely to get a good, solid fit - especially important on the rocks (the built in boots are probably better if your on sand). Also, if you rip the waders or something happens to the boots, you only have to replace one if they are separate.

I only half agree with clog. Boot foot is the way to go for the average guy. LL bean emeger series is great. Decent breathability; light weight; comfy, flexible boot, no rub on the leg at boot top(most important condideration off all when discussing waders), lifetime -unconditional-warranty. I can walk the beach all day in these. llbean, no question.

Agreed. I don't like separate boots either. Easy on easy off with the permanent boots. Comes down to personal preference in the end.

Maybe it was a bad batch but my buddy and I each ordered a pair of the breathable LL Beans and the shoulder straps on each started coming apart from the bib during the first wearing. They were fine about taking them back but if you are up at the store check them out first.
