Reccomended gear
Waders
If you are considering waders, over the years things have changed for the worst. We buy waders to stay dry. If you buy them to stay warm and they leak, you won't be warm. In recent years we have not been able to buy a set of waders that would last through a season and the days of cabela's life time guarantee are over. A couple of years ago we purchased a set of High 'N Dry waders, the next year we bought another set and they are both still going strong. It's obvious when you see them that they were designed to last. We both bought breathable, but I have seen the neoprene and I've heard they hold up well also. Check out hndoutdoors.com If you want to be warm, dress warm. Buy waders 1 or 2 sizes too big so you can fit warm socks and clothes. For women, alot like the banded breathable.
