I finaly broke down and purchased my breathable waders! (Hodgeman wadelites). WOW what a difference!!!! They feel a lot like wearing a pair of Khaki pants and the best part is that you don't sweat your **** off.
If you haven't bought a pair yet I suggest you try them you won't be sorry :)

Talk about coincidence! Just this afternoon I bought a pair of "bootin" Wadelites at Frank's Outdoors in Linwood MI. 20% off made the waders $159.95. I was going to order from Cabela's at $169.95 but the ones I wanted were not in stock yet (fall catalog). My shoe size is 9 1/2 and the 10's I bought fit very well. They certainly do feel good on just as Weezer said and I hope they aren't too fragil in the brush. I have a 49" chest and the 10's fit decent but I won't be able to wear a heavy jacket on the inside. That's OK for me though since I'm only using them for fishing summer smallies.

I've been using the Orvis Clearwater breatheables for the last 3 or 4 years and they are great. I think you guys will be very happy with your purchases. I have walked through brush and have not had any problems. I have even gone through some areas with thorn bushes and came out ok. I try to be as careful as I can cause I could just see myself ripping a big hole in them but so far I haven't had any problems. I wouldn't go running through the woods too fast though especially if there is any chance of running into thorns. Enjoy!

My waders sre the Stocking foot ones 139.99 at Franks's. If I'm not mistaking, the Orvis and Cabelas waders are made by Hodgeman!!! Putting the Orvis name adds $10.00 but the warranty is a little better.
If they don't hold up to brush I'll know by the end of the month!!! Keep ya posted
