[cool][#0000ff]From now until April, any tubing you do will be in COLD water here in Utah. You can buy larger lightweights and add an extra layer or two, but neoprenes are much better.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Most of us use both breathables and neoprenes. My personal schedule is to fish "wet" during the summer, whenever water temps exceed 65 degrees. Once they drop back down past that range in the fall, I put on the breathables and one layer. I add a layer when the temps drop below 60 and bring out the 'prenes below 55. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Water temps are just above 50 on most low elevation waters now, and in the 40's on the higher lakes. You can "get by" with breathables but you will have to bulk up a lot more than with neoprenes.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I also have a thought. From past experience, any waders you can get for $50 are probably not very good waders. Budget is a big thing, but it is cheaper to wait until you can afford good waders than to have to replace poor ones more often.[/#0000ff]
