The fact is, there are some pretty affordible breathables on the market.
Check out the offerings at Sportsman's Warehouse, for instance. Some of them are less than a hundred bucks.
I've looked at those, and, frankly, I don't see why, with a little care, they shouldn't last at least five years.
Something to keep in mind, too, when making a decision, is how hard they'll be used. Those of us out on the water often obviously are harder on waders than somebody would be who only makes a few trips a year.
I have friends, for instance, who don't put their waders on as often in three years as I'm likely to do in six months. Obviously, for them to spend hundreds of dollars on waders doesn't make a lot of sense.
