Default Waders - Breathable or Neoprene ?

the one advantage of neoprenes over breathables is safety. Properly fitted
neoprenes with a belt trap little air and will allow little water into the
wader. Breathable design is no different than the old rubber style waders
which could cause an angler to float head down or fill with water making
recovering from deep water difficult

I also think neoprenes are a better choice for winter fishing and for use in
a float tube..

Neoprenes can be had for much less $ than breahables meaning you could
possibly afford a pair of both. Given breathables use neoprene feet one pair
of wading shoes should fit both pairs if you consider this when making the
purchase.

Looking to buy a pair of waders and can only get 1 - so my question is

.....
What kind?
Will be Stocking Foot (I already have shoes)
My feeling is breathables would be better as they are well suited for warm
Summer weather and One could wear layers underneath if going out in colder
weather, whereas Neoprenes while good for Spring/Fall might be a little

too
much in the Summer.
Any thoughts???
Thanks.
