I also have hodgman breathers. Before the new pair I used their neo's. The new wadelite waders are real comfortable, and easy to get on. I've had them for almost a year, with no problems! The old pairs of neo's are just crap. They ware out fast. I've went through two pairs over the last 8-10 years I've been fishing the rivers. But hodgmen seems to have a better track record that your brand I guess. What ever brand you go with don't toss the old pair out. The neo's are nice insulation if worn inside your gore-tex waders. You'll love the extra warmth in the cold days to come. ; Don't hate participate all trash has a home. P.S Freddy's has them and at around half the price you pay for the pair you own now, or less than that.
