looking for a wader/boot recommendation

[Adrenalinerush]

Neoprene sucks, unless you like heavy waders and sweating which actually makes you colder in the winter. Buy oversized breathables and oversized boots, that way you can layer clothing and stay warm in the winter. In the summer it's no gig deal if they are baggy or if it's real hot just wet wade with the boots. I have steelhead fished in the middle of the winter with breathables in single digit temps for years and been fine. As Long as you layer and have room in your boots you can stay fairly warm. And for the money chota boots are the ticket, I have had mine for years and they really hold up well.
