Title: Waders
Post by: DishBogget on June 10, 2016, 06:56:42 PM: Figured this would be a good off season topic and since I'm in the market for a new pair....

What are your favorite brand/type of wader? I'm in the market for a durable (obviously) chest wader that's not neoprene. I was interested in the Ones Filson made but it seems like they might not be making them anymore so I'm back to the drawing board , let's hear your thoughts !

I got them big enough to fit my regular clothes under because I'm in and out of my truck and I take them off to drive to the next swamp . My opinion these are my favorite and under $100 shipped
