I am not FG and I have never had neoprene waders.
I learned how how good Breathable fabrics were years before they were widely used. I fish in the middle of the winter a lot here in Colroado. Using Breathable waders, fleece long johns and high tech sockets I can be comfortable wading in the water.
From people that used to wear neoprene waders I have found out that they used to get cold in them from sweating in them. The moisture then just wets the clothing. Everyone knows that water conducts heat away quicker than dry clothes and air.
If you don't sweat in your neoprenes because you are fishing from a boat you might be warmer than the breathables. But if you do any kind of climbing around streams while fishing you will be sweating some and the breatheables will be much better.
