I bought a low-end pair of Caddis neoprene waders to replace my old leaky Hodgman's, and found them to be very poorly made and a waste of money. They started leaking on the second or third time I wore them, and after I spent the time to fix these with Aquaseal a number of other leaks appeared almost instantly in other spots on the seams.

It's a given that the breathable waders are an entirely different product from the neoprene ones, but based on my own experience I would never choose the Caddis brand again. Fool me once...

I plan to replace my leaky neoprene waders with a good pair of breathables at some point in the future, and will shell out for a higher-end model and, hopefully, get my money's worth.
