I would strongly suggest breathable waders. I wore neoprene forever, switched over this season and will never go back.
Breathables aren't meant to be tough in the brush. If you get them and intend to do a lot of hiking, plan on wearing a cheap pair of rain pants over them.
When I was doing a lot of duck hunting in rough conditions (blackberries, brush,sticks, flooded fences) I went through a lot of waders- both neo and breathable. I finally got a pair of Cabelas Brush Busters and was really happy with them. They don't breath- but that's the tradeoff to standing up to barbwire. I never punctured them.Edit: I don't see they sell those anymore. Closest comp might be the the USIA.Anyone tried the USIA waders? https://usia.com/tag/waders/
