Whatever you do, don’t waste your money on Banded waders. Sitka gear is for queers too. If you want a good pair of wader that will last you, the buy Simms. They’re backed by an unbelievable warranty and customer service. I wear breathable Gator waders because I know the owner. They’re good waders, haven’t leaked and their customer service is also top notch.

SimmsI think I am going to pick up a pair of these for fishing. $179 for Simms waders seems too good to pass up.

I use stocking foot then just use my wading boots with them. I tend to use my wading boots in the surf and bays all summer but I can store the waders in a much smaller space when not used. Those boot foot waders are really unwieldy and a pain to haul around. Good plan, you're right, those booted waders are a pita to carry and store. Carry around, yes PIA. Store, not so much. Think 3 coat hangers for a store on the wall system(boots up). Built this one last yr.

Boots = Duck Stocking Foot = Fishing

I bought a track system from HD or Lowe’s and I can hang all kinds of stuff on different pegs, including waders, and it was cheap, if anyone wants an idea that doesn’t include carpentry. Cost me like $35, but if I had the skill and time, I’d go with pegs like Hip has.

yep, still here.
riverby is now mitigation land for the new lake going in south of us, 30,000 acres being put back to prairie and they added a lot of levees for water retention. supposedly no public access for a few yrs. while it gets going.

Water temp > 80 degrees, pants and old running shoes.
Water temp < 80 degrees, built in boots. One less thing to forget and less chance of losing a shoe in the mud. ^^This...and add this Ray Guard Wading Boot when wet wading the coast. I wear those boots and still shuffle my feet.

Simms G3 waders with the stocking foot. I buy a pair of boots 2 sizes bigger just for winter time wading. The G3 and 4 are made in Bozeman MT, USA. Other products, China. Simms G3 is the GOAT wader. I’m fixing to toss mine on in a minute and go fly fish behind the house.

If you haven't already spent your money and are still shopping check these out. I have had the same pair for 5 years. They have been worn to hunt in, winter wade fishing and breathable enough to wade with in summer if you so choose. Made in TX and they owner handles all customer service himself. Good to have options. Texas Made
