L.L. Bean breathable waders start at $149 and go to $385, and they are all guaranteed for life.

I bought a pair of $250 ones 7 years ago, they started leaking last year (year 6, not bad), I sent them back for repair this year, and L.L. Bean sent me a new pair of waders. Since the new ones are cheaper than they were 7 years ago, they sent me a $50 gift certificate also. I'm happy, the new waders fit even better than my old ones, and the feet are way more comfortable.

I'd hazard a guess that most of these "high brow" breathable waders are built in like four different factories in China, if you compare similar materials and such, they are all probably all very similar other than the name on the tag. Try on whatever waders you're going to buy, because you want them to fit perfectly. Make sure they have a good warranty, and then forget about them and just go fishing.

..and Jacob, I thought I had told you this before, but the $199 L.L. Bean breahtable waders come in up to a 59" chest, 34" inseam, and size 14 shoe... is this still too small for you?
If so, have Sos at XStream sew you some custom ones!!
