Who here recommending waders hunts more than 10 times a year? If you do then you know quality waders. Whoever says no neoprene has never stood nut deep in freezing wader all morning waiting on birds.

FYI I have two types. I have some nylon orvis silver sonid ones I use when it isn’t cold and I have a long walk. They are stocking foot waders.

I have some POS neoprene drakes(I get a new pair every year because they don’t make the year warranty) this is what I use when hunting cold weather.

Me. I like Macks because they hold up, have a simple design, and allow freedom of movement that some other brands don't. My last pair of Macks lasted three years averaging 30+ hunts a year. I'm sure there are other good brands, but these are the best I've owned.

We're talking about marsh/field hunting south TX, not standing in Arkansas timber.

The best I've ever had was a pair of neoprene hodgman's that finally wore out after over 10 years of hard hunting.

Ok then - see my recs on the Game Winners...

Done it in neoprenes and done it in breathables with layering underneath - prefer the latter option. Hunt public land and often am standing in nut-deep water. Would rather the breathables 10/10 times, no doubt. I don't sweat walking in and setting up, and I'm plenty comfortable standing there.

Quit buying pos drakes and buy Columbia and they last. I make 30-40 hunts a year fwiw.

If you paid 500 dollars for waders you deserve a swift kick in your cocksucker. I'm poor FYI.
