Breathable waders are fantastic. If you use them regularly though you're going to have to spend some money. I've tried cheaper hodgmans breathables and two different pairs of top end Cabelas breathables and they've all started leaking badly within 5-10 trips. I'm now using a pair of Simms lightweight breathables (about $200). I've used them about 20 times with no problems. From what I hear, if you really are going to use these waders, Simms and Patagonia are the way to go.
