The problem with most of these wader companies is the same problem you see with reels. When they first come out they are made by reputable Mfg's in one country. As soon as the product takes hold they move the country of origin and change Mfg's overseas. The first person to buy the product raves about it and the rest get "screwed," if you will excuse the vernacular. The original Strechlite Breathable waders were the bomb. Since then not so much. The Hodgeman Neo's have always had problems. They weren't thick enough material and the seams always had problems IMHO. ![[Image: dumb.gif]](http://www.bigfishtackle.com/images/gforum/dumb.gif)
