looking to buy my first set of chest waders. What material should i be looking at? I'll be using them for fresh and salt water. What kinds or brands do you guys prefer?
thanx

Well, I have a pair of Orvis breathable for warm weather and a pair of Lacrosse neoprene 5mm for cold weather.

no doubt about it orvis breathable- had mine for 4 years and love them

An experienced fly fisherman told me that orvis waders are junk. Never had a pair so don' t know. I have had two pair of hodgmans breathable and they were junk. I' ve been doing research and it looks as if Simms breathable waders are the ones to get. I' ll be buying a pair soon. Check them out!

I bought a pair of Cabelas breathable Waders last summer. I love them. They are really comfertable and easy to work with. In the winter I use 3mm Ducks Unlimited neoprene waders. They keep me very warm
