Waders... - Kokak - 12-01-2008 Ok... next hurdle... Waders... What would you recommend? I've had a set of Hodgman neoprene waders for a few years and now I'm sure they won't fit (I will look more like some superhero in spandex). So... I'm looking at these and would like some feedback and or suggestions... Orvis® Clearwater® Endura Breathable 129.95 Hodgman® Weir Breathable Zip-Front 139.95 Let me know what you think and if you have any other recommendations. Thanks as always...

The Orvis is probably the best bang for the buck for sure. [signature] Re: [Kokak] Waders... - riverdog - 12-01-2008 [signature] Re: [riverdog] Waders... - Kokak - 12-02-2008 Ok... Orvis it is! Man I hope this all comes in before the weekend... I really want to try everything out!

Just wanted to put in my 2 cents. [signature] Re: [1Mudman] Waders... - flygoddess - 12-09-2008 thanks 1Mudman. As I said I can't speak for the newer models. I had some many years ago and they didn't make 6 months. Heard allot of the same stories, but that was many years ago and they are still making them so I am sure they had to correct a few problems. I have to ask you a question. A few years ago they came out with STRETCHABLE/BREATHABLE that just made soooooo much sense. But never heard how they were. Do you have any info on them?

I'm a little biased because I work for the company but they are a great value. Check them out on [url "http://www.wright-mcgill.com"]www.wright-mcgill.com[/url]. [signature] Re: [Hammer1] Waders... - Kokak - 12-11-2008 Thanks for all the input... I did pickup the Orvis Waders (should have seen the look on the wifes face as I was walking around the house with them on... LOL). I have not had the chance to try out any of my new toys (Waders, Fins and ODC 420) but next weekend... [] [signature]
