Breathable waders

Ok, i want another set of breathable waders. The last pair I had we're Mack's but they lasted a good year and that's about it. Tried patching them and sealing them but they just got to where they were like not even wearing waders so I trashed them. The material itself held up very well, but the seams were the obvious flaw in them.

Does anyone know if they have revamped these waders? Also has anyone tried the lacrosse or cabelas brand breathable waders? I really like the breathables because of the lightweight and we really don't have any winters that are so cold that I can't layer up and keep warm in them.

Any other recommendations out there? Thanks.

I have been pleased with the Cabela's First Flight Breathables, however I did punch a hole in the side of the boot on my first pair. The material (rubber) is pretty thin on the upper boot, but that should be expected on a 'light' wader. I bought another pair but kept the first pair in case I need some 'patch' material. The hole was completely my fault - no fault of the wader.

These are easy to walk in and so far, are water/air tight.

I use the Cabela's Dry Plus II breathables. They've held up pretty well after a couple of seasons.

+1 on the Cabela's Dry Plus Breathables. I've had mine for going on my 4th season now and haven't had any problem with them at all.
