For the most part I agree with Zonker and TD. Stay away from the Hodgeman Wadelites. However, and I do not think they make them anymore, I have had a pair of Hodgeman Stretchlite breathable waders for a few seasons now and have had no issues. This is after using them in my toob and fishing for salmon and steelhead in numerous rivers where I am constantly bending and kneeling. But neoprene are much less expensive and seem to hold up well. You might want to check out websites like Dick's sporting goods and GI Joes. They quite often have good deals on waders. Good Luck, and let us know how the maiden voyage goes.
