Cabela's 1600.

I liked the last pair of Hodgon but cabela's was a lot cheaper and their warmer.
Always carry a small roll of duct tape in hunting bag.

Cabala's 5 mm chest waders they where about $100 bucks I have had the same pair for 5 years with no leaks. Prior I used Hodgmann's and had to replace those about every 18 month between ducks and fishing dmg

Hey, that's great I'm glad to hear your going to be warm next trip out. I know what you're talking about and I don't remember where I heard it

but I feel your pain

I have to go into town and get something to patch mine before I go out again. I know what to look for now and I'll get what I can (or tube).
I have killed a few pair on repairs
I always get the pair with the warmest boots.I always have a few pair of the foot and hand warmers in my hunting kit but never do any good wet. I hunt the desert so I get into the Russan olives a lot and break a lot of ice this time of year. I have to say the 1600 from Cabela has been the warmest so far.

goodluck on repairing your waders....do you have any neoprene patches or glue?

? i might have a little hanging around the house if you need it...

how big is your hole tank?

No I don't but I'll go into town tomorrow and get some but thanks for the offer. Sisu, gave a web site for some good stuff on my thread need some help patching waders. I don't think I can get it in town and would have to order the stuff but this time of year I'm afraid of it freezing. I'm 2 miles from the mail box and ups don't deliver this time of year (too slick) The guys offered some follow up items to try so I should be able to get it patched . It's a small 1" spot where it's pulled away from the stitching.
I didn't notice it untill I got in the float tube to retrieve the decoys.

Guy, I really am glad you'll be warm the rest of this season.
I read on a forum what they did to acclimate themselves to the weather for hunting season. I mean they put themselves thru hell. There's no deer or duck out there worth the things they went thru. All they had to do was hook up with Cabela's on line. They didn't live in the south where the weather isn't as bad this bunch (men and women) lived in the north central and north east states.
Now I'm not saying they were wrong in doing so it's just not the way we do it here.
Well sometimes I do but it sure as hell aint planned.

Heck yes patch your old waders you never know when you might need them.I like my light 50 pair for summer fishing and early season hunting.

Shotfire try Icemans cheap stuff counting the caulking gun you'll are around 10 dollars in it. Your not using them so they can take all the time they want to cure. Just make sure it says 100% polyurathane and not some kind of caulking matterial.
Iceman's stuff is a glue. Now I hope he picks up on this but I would think you could use wax paper on the inside for a backing to keep from over gluing. Then you can pull (maybe)the paper off and then glue the inside.I'm thinking if you had a butter knife and kept it wet you could smear it where you want to, but look out I'm thinking again. I'll the good stuff when I can find it and make sure it hasn't froze. I want to know it's my screwing up. I should have ask for help before I wrecked a couple good pair.Well I can't say that I was offered help but I think I missunderstood him.I tried what he said but my waders still leaked but I couldn't poop for a month.

I'm going to camp and hope to hunt the next couple days.
I think school starts the 2nd

tank are these directions for neoprene wader repair

Yes but check my thread asking for help patching waders. There's some good information in it. If you have good things to do or more important things not to do, please ad to it

I would like to know if the Cotol-240 that cures Urethane (AQUASEAL) in two hours would work as well on the polyurethane.Looks like I have to order the Cotol-240 as well as the stuff SISU uses. I would bet if a guy learned to patch waders,wet suits,dry suits and everything between it would be a good side business.
If I was 20 years younger I would think about doing it not that I was worth a poop 20 years ago. It's just at my age and as slow at learning things as I am. I don't think I have enough life time left.
I'm going to camp untill Sunday have a safe weekend.
