Cabela's 5mm neopreme waders.

Anyone used the Cabelas 5 mm lug sole chest waders?
What did you think for following areas: Warmth, toughness of material, ease of wearing (on/off, mobility, boot fit, etc.).
Any input is appreciated.

I got a pair and sent them back. I found them hard to get on and off. It was my first attempt at a neoprene and I went back to the insulated waders. I think for winter steal heading or water fowl hunting with lots of walking and wading they would be great but it was a real pain to get them on and off. Safety is another consideration and they should be good for that. I just didn't like messing around with them.

I can live with that, ever pair of waders I have ever owned was hard to get on and off!

Thanks for the input.

I have a pair and love them, warm, sometimes a little too warm, I wear shorts in the early fall and fleece in the winter. Very durable and the boots are great. I actually can run full tilt in them! No complaints thus far, had them for about 2 years, no signs of wear.
