[cool][#0000ff]I have been using a Columbia Riverlite wader from Sportsmans. Can't find them listed or sold anywhere else. These were designed by Simms and are very good quality for the $80 price tag.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]One of the things I always advise is to take your clothing you plan to wear when you go to buy waders. You may get some "looks" but it is more important to be comfortable and functional than to please the sales people.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]One of the "oversights" most common to tubing and tooning is buying according to your normal clothing sizes. That all goes out the window when you start layering. Try before you buy and you will be happier with the fit and the comfort. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]That is also good advice for booties and for fins. Start with waders and then buy booties to fit your overstuffed feet. Then, and only then, buy fins that will fit over the whole shebang. Otherwise, you get constriction in cold water and that leads to frozen footsies. [/#0000ff]
