RE: hunting waders
Just an opinion you didn't ask for 
To me the only reason to have neoprene waders is if you're actually going to be standing in water for extended times - e.g. duck hunting or fishing. In my experience, for normal walking, wading in and out of the water type stuff, they are too warm and sweaty, and "inflexible" as far as adjusting to varying conditions. I much prefer regular, light weight coated nylon (e.g. tough cordura) waders. If it's warm, I wear light weight clothes under. IF it's cold, I wear warmer socks and layers, including pile pants underneath. More flexible and just as warm, if you wear the right stuff underneath. I've had neoprene hip and chest waders, and haven't been able to use them except in above conditions.
Sorry, I know you didn't ask.
