Wader recommendations

My Redington Palix River waders are leaking bad in both legs after about 15 months of heavy use in the Brazos, Nolan and LMF. I have never owned any other waders, but am looking to spend $250 or less on a new pair. I liked the Redington's, so maybe the Sonic Pro's ($205 on Amazon), the new Palix River's ($169), or Simms Freestone ($249), other brands? Anyone have any suggestions or insight from owning multiple brands/models?

I think all of those would probably be great choices. If I were you I would have a look at the cabelas bargain cave. I know I saw a few nice sets comparable to those mentioned for a nice price. Seems like they were all priced between 100-200. Just an idea

Osprey
White River at Bass Pro Shop

They were on sale for $89.00 2 weeks ago. Otherwise a bump back up to $125. They have reinforced knees and butt. These are the exact waiters I use for running around the creeks in Dallas and the lower mountain fork River chasing trout

They are still on sale according to the BPS web site.

Oh awesome. Those would be fantastic as well.

+1 I bought both the Osprey's and their wading boot a couple of weeks ago. I wade the shore of Twok regularly. IMHO they are a very good product. Do not miss my old neoprene's at all.

I'm still a big fan of the Orvis Encounter line of waders and boots.

Simms or Patagonia.

Personally I prefer Simms.
