Yup, you know what they say about opinions!!
Just this year, I ran into many underwater hazards that would tear a lesser pair of neoprenes to shreds. I can remember off the top of my head walking into logs, sticks, the corner of my aluminum jon boat....and many other obstacles that I thought were sure to spring me a leak. Nothing doing. Next year will be year number 4 with my Cabela's.
I need warmth in my feet, or I won't last the day. Cheaper waders just don't cut it.
