Look into the waist high waders. I use them more than chest waders. Great for walking and the warmish spring weather. Personally I have settled on patagonia. The Rio azul and the gunnison gorge waist high are perfect for me for under $300 They are well made and the best I could find that weren't $500.00 plus. One thing to consider with these models they aren't double ply from the waist down like the waders costing double. I'm roughish on my waders and walking through the thick nasty stuff and still no leaks.
