There are lots of past questions on waders but through all of my searched I haven't found many recent reviews on waders.
After 4 seasons, the longest I have gotten a pair to last, my Cabelas Brush Busters are leaking heavily. Best waders I have owned and now Cabela's has discontinued them, wish I would have caught that before they were completely sold out.
Just like a boat I don't think there is one wader that fits all scenarios (ie warm/cold and primarily walking vs primarily sitting in a boat). That being said I am looking for a wader that I can tromp through anything with. I have entered the woods twice with neoprene waders and both times come out with a hole, I hate neoprene
So I am looking for:
-A wader with similar material to the Cabelas Brush Bruster (harder, less flexible and looser material that cannot tear and can layer underneath)
-While I hate neoprene I have seen a few brands come out with a nylon material over the neoprene-anyone try these? I believe Lacrosse and the new "Banded" brand have these.
-Will be using these later in the season with some walking involved (don't want a huge 1600 gram boot but also need some sort of insulation-the brush busters were 1000 gram and worked nicely)
Looking forward to your suggestions.
