The best waders are ones that are on sale and don’t leak. Look into any manufacturers warranty’s as that would make me sway toward a company. Fact is all brands suck all brands are nice. It’s sewn together material. But waders with the goop on the seams tend to be bettter (yet still leak when new). Really hit or miss. I would buy the best deal at a place close to home for quick returns. Cabelas still randomly allows wader exchanges, not a bad deal. Ultimately you can forget about your 20 year experience with one set of waders. I hunt 20 times a year not including fishing and In my garage is 6 pairs of waders. Some expensive some cheap. Most have been exchanged severs times. Point is. Don’t waste a ton of money, buy from bass pro/cabelas/Rogers on sale and they *might* back you up when you have a problem.


Buy aqua seal and use a flashlight in waders in a dark room. See light? Patch it

What about boot sizing? Again, I'm anywhere between a 9.5 and 10.5 depending on the shoe. I'd rather have a little room than not enough in my boot. Will likely be looking at Cabela's and trying stuff on.
God Bless,
Scott

I have Simms Freestone boots, I wear 9.5 shoes and bought size 10 wader boots and they are a perfect fit.

I found cabelas waders run true to size for me. I normally wear a size 10, with the waders I am able to run two pairs of thick socks in size 10.

I think I have decided on the new Frogg Togg Grand Refuge 3.0 boot foot chest wader. I called the company yesterday and they said they are expecting a delivery of them on 14 Sept. Should be able to order them and have them for the youth waterfowl opener on the 25th. I like the idea of breathable with the zip out thinsulate liner. Never been one for the tight feel of neoprene.
God Bless,
Scott

I absolutely love my Rogers waders. They’re made by frogg toggs. I don’t know if you where using neoprene or not but try breathables. They’re a real game changer IMO. I’ll never go back to neoprene.

My son is 12 and is about 5'5 with a size 11 boot  :o I know he is just going to outgrown them so I went with a pair of HISEA's off of Amazon. Basically $100. They are 600 gram thisulate. We shall see how they hold up. If he gets a whole season without wet feet it will be worth it.
