In years past, I've always been a hip boot and neoprene guy. Then, I saw the light and decided it was time to try breathables. Not knowing what I was in for, I bought cautiously the first time around( not spending a ton of $$$) and went with Cabelas dry-plusII breathable waders.

I must say they are the most comfortable waders I've ever worn but they did not hold up well. I always wear sweatpants under them. The interior material is chafffing and they outer material is wearing on the inside seams with leaks beginning to appear. All this after only 25 or so trips bank fishing. They weren't abused horribly either.

I'm also a believer in getting what you paid for but at $110 I thought they would have held up a LITTLE better. I learned my lesson and will spend the money next time.
