RE: Wader recommendation
I have the cabelas 5mm waders and there are some drawbacks to them. If the temperature is 45 or higher and you have much wading to do you sweat up a storm. Also I have never been a fan of velcro straps for holding them up instead of suspenders. Also the pair I have is a little tall for me (i'm 5' 8") so they don't fit as well as I would like. Now if you have to stand in very cold water huntintg or fishing they are great, but again if you have to hike in a mile to get to you spot in them you think you died! They are tough an more resistent to ice and brush than any waders I have owned. In conclusion make sure you try them on first with the clothes you would be wearing if hunting. Good luck.
