[QUOTE="camoman, post: 260670, member: 571"] I have worn both neoprene (bootfoot) and goretex (stockingfoot - Simms G3) waders and unfortunately can tell you that neither is bulletproof. If you plan to wear your goretex waders out to the duck pond, sit in them, kneel, walk through the brush, etc, etc. you will be significantly disappointed when they develop pinholes and your crotch and knees become damp. There’s no perfect answer. The goretex waders will require maintenance. However, get a pair of stockingfoot waders and a nice pair of boots, you won’t regret it - I’ve spent 12-16 hour days in my Simms and have no complaints. You can layer up clothes underneath when you need to and shed layers if you don’t. Some other companies that make solid breathables are Orvis and Patagonia, but again as discussed you will have to pay a hefty price. [/QUOTE]
