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.

I'd go with breathables. Just make sure that before winter comes, you buy
some really good fleece pants.. Simms is very proud of theirs; Redington
has a pair for about half of Simms. I thought that I would never wear
breathables during the winter, but now I do.

Re neoprenes. We wet wade when it gets too hot to wear waders. Just get
some neoprene socks to fill your boots, and wear old short or jeans. By the
way, it can get too hot for breathables too!

You rang ? ;-)

I wade wet most of the time. I wear a pair of silk socks, a pair of
SmartWool hiking socks, Simms neoprene bootie/gravel guards and a
pair of quick dry nylon long pants or shorts, depending. The rule
of Ken states thusly, thou shalt not get thy balls wet. Works for
me. On the very rare occasion (way cold) that I do wear waders I
have a very old pair of nylon lightweights that I wear over layers
of poly-pro and wool.

So to the original author of this thread, my opinion is to go with
the breathables if you feel you have to have waders.

Wasn't it T-Bone that said..."What a waste of a good fart!" ?
