Cableas super mag. Drakes are horrible avoid those. Lacrosse also makes good waders.
Hands down Banded breathables. They've outlasted my Lacrosse and two pair of Drake waders a buddy had. I can't say enough good things about them.
To all the people that have waders for 3 plus seasons, how do you do it. Every pair I have starts leaking in the seams, I rip a hole in them hiking into a hole or wading around. I have ripped boots off, what's the secret? Last three years I have been wearing only breathables since we do a lot of walking and long wades to get to holes. Last season I had a pair of cabelas breathables that were the pair they advertised as the toughest. They did last the season but had to cover a mojority of the seams with shoe goo. Traded the in at the end of the season for a new pair.
Try and find welded seams instead of stitched seams. Stitches always unravel and leak faster than one with welded seams.I'm in the same boat as you are. I only get about 3 maybe 4 seasons on my waders and for some reason the price on waders keeps climbing. I've used Lacrosse in the past always, and love them. But curious of the Banded or Drake breathable are worth a shot for durability. I've read a few reviews, however I could buy two pairs of waders for the price of the banded ones.
