Wader suggestions?

[chrispbrown27]

It's time for a new pair guys, any suggestions? I need something tough for the flooded timber, flexible for climbing in and out of the boat, its got to be neoprene, and warm but not too warm (duck season isn't overly warm but sometimes it can get too warm for the heavy stuff). Also, price is very important. I realize that for the big names I'm looking at spending at least $150, but what about Cabelas brand? Anything else?
Thanks as always guys.

Chris,
I have been using Gander Mountain brand waders for about 4 seasons now and I have had no problems with them. Before those I had a pair of Cableas brand waders that lasted me about 4 or 5 seasons. The best thing I can tell you is if at all possible go to the stores where you can try on waders to help make your decision.

crisp- I am on pair number two of the Cabelas Warrior waders. I LOVE them. They are lightweight, they don't make you over heat as the insulation is down where you need it, and not all the way up to your chest. They are tough too. Mine never were punctured, (a first for me in ANY brand I have ever had) the seams just finally had enough after I think 4 seasons of flat out abuse.
Good luck.
Mark

I own a pair of Cabela's SuperMags and a pair of Cabela's 3mm Neostretch. Very satisfied with both. The Neotretch ones are very confortable and tough despite their low price.

I have 2 pairs of Hodgmans. They are tough as nails. One has like 1200g and the other is 200g I think :confused: My brother and I each ordered a pair of the ones with the 1200g b/c we were tired of being cold all the time. For 2 pairs they didn't charge us any extra shipping either. It was only like $100 shipped for both pairs. Not a bad deal at all IMO

Cabelas waders are great. I got the 1600 Supermags and the 3mm Neostretch. Cabelas stands behind their waders like no other.

[Jeremy Abbas]

I agree with Jeff and Tony, throw in another vote for Cabela's Supermags.

[Brett Beinke]

After thorough research I went with the Cabelas Warrior's. I have heard many great things about them and nothing bad.

I'm a LaCrosse man myself. Been wearing them for 7-8 years and love'um. Just bought me a pair of the new LaCrosse extremes and man they are nice.

I have a couple of buddy's that use the Cabelas Super Mags and are very satisfied!

i have had pair of rockies for about 6 years now they are still going strond only one leak where the strap is sewn on and that is just because the sealer came loose and you have to be pretty deep to reach it so Maybe think about looking into them too picked mine up for 50 bucks on a clearence sale

Hodgman's Outlet store is running a special right now. $7.50 total shipping for everything you buy. Yuo could get 2 pairs of waders and only pay a total of $7.50 for shipping. I bought some bibs off of there last night.

My Cabela's waders have preformed extreamely well over the last decade. I currently have a pair of 3mm boot foot and a pair of the 1600 Supermag w/armor-flex. Cabela's has always been great by backing their 100% satisfaction guarantee.

[J Kryspin]

I use Cabela's with the Armor Flex.

[Thráinn E. Skúlason]

I use Cabela´s up here in Iceland. 5mm with Armor Flex have done the job for me.

I have two pair of Cabela's waders. The one pair has held up for 4 years, this season will be the 5th (Ultimate Hunting Waders). The other pair is new this summer and will be used for late season hunting (Super Mag 1600s).

The Hodgeman outlets store is amazing! If only I could squeeze my foot into a size 7, 8, or 9! None in my size though, figures!
