Need opinions...what are the best/inexpensive chest waders? I'm going to be buying some in the next week or two. Wanted to get yall's opinions on this. I don't want to spend a lot...I will be using them, but not just a whole lot.

Thanks in advance.

Had used mine a LOT for 3 years now and still look like new.

Fishingallday: are the neopreme booties on those breathable waders waterproof or do you have to wear them with some sort of waterproof boots? Just curious because scuba diving wetsuits are made of neopreme, and they let water in (hence the name wetsuit). Pardon my ignorance, but I have never had a set of waders and am also thinking of buying some.

or get some hip waders for cheap

just dont go in water past your hips. mighty cold. neoprene booties on my breathables the water does not seep through. u can wear tennis shoes if you want. one size bigger than normal on your shoes.

I can not vouch for any of these as I use bass pro shop ones.

Neoprene waders are perfect when in cold water. You don't get wet (like a wetsuit) and they help keep you warm.

i had a pair of the 89$ redhead ones from bass pro.Neoprene,booted sole type.They were great,lasted 3 years untill I "found" some barbed wire one day wading,,.

That's what I use, got them for hunting, but use to fish as well. I also ripped mine on a barbed wire fence, but got some AquaSeal and it patched them right up.

You�re much better off if you go ahead and spend the money now on a good pair on neoprene waders, they will last a lot longer which will also save you money in the long run. The cheaper stuff doesn�t last long, and it sure isn�t any fun when that cold water comes rushing in on you when you�re fishing. And the neoprene waders keep you nice and warm in the cold water. This time of the year is about the only time I use waders, so the water is still pretty darn cold right about now, so that�s another reason why I prefer the neoprene waders. I think the ones I use today are around ten years old and still kicking.

Dont get these at academy

The boots and other parts will dry out and crack. This happened to mine after only a few times of using them. Last time i used them, i ended up with several cups of water in my right boot and a wet crotch. My buddy has them too and same thing happened to his.
