Thats a tough one and if you search back a few months there has been alot of discussion on the topic. However, my personal feeling is that, if you use them alot all waders will eventually leak. I have always used neopreen, right now I have 3.5 mil. hodgemans. The guys I fish with use the breathable style. Both of them have had leaks within a year of purchase and so have I. So my thought is go with the cheap neopreen. I think they are pretty comfortable and warm even if you get a leak. I have had some in the past that have lasted for over 3 years with out a leak. Just my 2 cents worth. I suppose that if you get the really expensive breathables they might last longer, but I don't have 3 bills to drop on waders.

P.S. - As far as colors go on the Togiak, the pictures you see on the net and in catalogues doesn't really depict the actual color of the tube, especially in the green color. I bought the green for my brother and was a little worried about it looking kind of "Teal", I was pleasantly suprised when it arrived that it was greener then it looked.
