Spend the extra hundred or hundred and fifty dollars and get a pair of Simms breathables. They are by far the best on the market. With the Simms you are getting a one year over the counter warranty and then a lifetime warranty after that with Simms. So they could be very well be the last pair of waders you ever buy.
If you are worried about durabilty, the Simms come with a five layer in the chest and a seven heavy duty layer in the legs. They are nearly bullet proof and if something happens to them, you get a new pair free!!
And if you worried about the cold, dont because with proper layering you can withstand the coldest temps. Buy em!!
