Non. No question. I can always add more layers when it'd cold, but you can't take away layers when it's hot in teal season or early big duck season if your waders are insulated.

I've worn non-insulated Game Winner (now Magellan) waders in negative Temps and my legs were fine because I layered appropriately. I hunt primarily NWOK and frequently break ice going in and don't have an issue with my non-insulated waders.

Not to mention, walking/wading any decent distance in non insulated waders is no problem. Trying walking/wading 5 miles or more over the course of a day in heavy neoprenes. It's a pain.
