[QUOTE="dblkluk, post: 260663, member: 3902"] Simms G3 and G4 breathables in the boot foot (not stocking foot) are a good cold weather compromise over neoprenes, though like has been said you'll still have to layer underneath but your feet will stay much warmer than stocking foots and wading boots. Alot of fly fishing guides I know that fish all winter swear by them. They aren't cheap though. Don't bother getting the Freestones. They are toray fabric and not Gore-tex. Not to mention they are made overseas and don't have the same warranty as the Bozeman made Headwaters, G3's, G4's etc. I always chuckle at this comment. Guys say a high end wader is too expensive, yet they end up spending more in the long run replacing cheap or middle of the road waders over and over. Get a Gore-tex pair of Simms and I bet that over 20 years you'll own no more than two pairs. I'm on my 10th year of my Simms and one trip back to the factory for cleaning and reconditioning at no cost to me and I expect them to go at least a few more years and I'm in them for 20-30 days a year minimum.
