how cold is it going to be?
standing in water?
timber? marsh? blind?

These are major factors

ETA: Cabelas - Supermag 1600

but I get cold easy, you will sweat in warm weather

Lacrosse, Cabelas, or MacksPW

Either get some light weight neoprene or complete breathable depending on where you will be hunting and if you will be standing in water continuously or not. Layer up underneath and that should be all the warmth you need in S TX.

Knowing you're in Houston, and presumably hunting around there, I would invest in breathable chest waders. They're comfortable during warm hunts, and easy enough to layer under with base layers and wader pants during late season, cold-weather hunts. I recently purchased a Game Winner set from Academy for $130 that I am pleased with so far and those or a pair similar to those is what I would recommend. Neoprene waders are bulky, heavy and unnecessarily hot for SE Tx.

Game Winner® Men's Tred-Lite Breathable Boot-Foot Waders - $130


ETA:
LaCrosse Alpha Swampfox Drop Top Realtree Max-5 600G - $170


ETA2:
Cabela's Dry-Plus™ Breathable Hunting Chest Waders – Regular - $200-220

How high is the water you're wading and are you taller than the average chicken?

And yes, hip boots are great to have for field hunts and some stuff like that.

Who said something about a cabelas lifetime warranty?


My 2 year old pair of dry plus breathable waders is leaking at the seams just on top of the boots

What are my options?
