I will never, ever buy a pair of Gamewinner waders again. They leak right out of the box.
Cannot find hodgemans in the new orleans area.
What else is out there?

2nd cabelas breatheable waders

The only reason I would describe cabelas waders as 'quality' is that they have a great return policy. I went through two pair of them last season.
Buy a tube of shoe goo if you have waders because that shite is like magic.

For what use? I assume hunting?
For hunting I have a new pair of Lacrosse that haven't been used yet
For fishing I have a pair of Simms gore tex that are by far the best.

This is the answer. They're the only waders I've owned for the past 10-15 yrs...however long ago they started making them. Very easy to patch when/if they get punctured. WAY better down here in LA where it rarely gets cold and stays cold. You can also roll them down and make waist waders.

dad just bought a pair of columbia breathable waders and they are nice too LINK

I just bought the $89 Game winners and have been happy with them. They feel just like my old hodgemens (which i think are out of business).
I have the cabelas ones also which arent bad but boot isnt as comfy and they cost bunch more

I find the game winners to be fine as well. At least when they leak it's because I punctured them on something rather than coming apart at the seams like my two pairs of cabelas last season.

100% agree for Louisiana weather. I have no idea how they would perform in Manitoba or Minnesota

Good thread. Because mine are thick and I'm tired of sweating my pecker off

the best thing about the breathable waders is how much easier they are to get on and off....and they require less room to store if that matters

Has anyone tried the Pro Line rubber vulvanized waders?
I found some on a trapping catalog site and they make a convas version(old school camo) and a denier nylon covered version. pretty damn cheap too. I am trying to replicate those old hodgeman rbber waders you could buy for $80 every other year and wear in water up to your waist for hours. If you cleaned them and stored them with care.
I hunt in flooded timber so dry is more important than breatheable. Neoprene is just too difficult to move in and get on and off.
