WebFreeman Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 Two choices, each $59.95. On breathable, one neoprene. I know there are better brands and models, but I don't fish often enough, so spending a bunch on waders isn't justifiable for me.

zander Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 I have the Redhead boot foot Bone Dry neoprene waders. I really like them. I did have a small leak in the boot portion which was easy to fix, but you wouldn't have that potential problem going with the stocking foot version. Just my two cents.
WebFreeman Posted December 4, 2007 Author Posted December 4, 2007 I read the LLB "satisfaction guaranteed" and wondered. Anybody using Bean waders? I had a friend in college with some Vasque hiking boots with a lifetime warranty. He sent them in and the CS rep on the phone told him "sounds like the lifetime on your boots is up." Funny, but not if their your boots. He did manage to get the boots replaced. Danoinark said: Web The Beans. Good warranty. Breathable and usable year round. Lightweight.

Paola Cat Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 After doing some research into low cost breathable waders, I purchased a pair of Toggs Canyon breathable stockingfoot waders from www.fishusa.com on a whim. I beleive they were $79.00. I've used them for the entire season and they've worked out great. I also purchased the guide pants. Couldn't be happier. No problems. Don't know anything about your choices. PC Cheers. PC

I called to find an item number on a barncoat that a mouse had eaten through. The sales rep insisted that I let them send me a replacement instead. Ok, twist my arm! I'm definitely a boot-foot wader guy (they keep my tootsies warmer) but you'd be hard-pressed to find a better company to do business with than LL Bean! Oh yeah, their stuff isn't bad, either. ::.
