Tom all you want is dry waders. They are made from rubber to neoprene and cost depends on mills for them. If you are going in cold weather get good ones if you want to stay dry only, the rubber will do. the problem with rubber waders is they age and eventually crack. Be careful not to store in high heat area if this is the route you decide to go in.

Hey Max now that you are "Styling" where is the picture of you in your almost dry, dry suit?

Best to you,
Steve

steve you obviously have worn waders enough to know they almost keep you dry. They are like a 4wd vehicle. take you to places you should not have been going with the security of knowing you will not get wet.

I've used these for a couple of years:

I wear socks, pulled over the bottom of my jeans before I get into the wader. The socks are long enough to come up higher than the boot level. It keeps me from getting blisters where the top of the boot rubs some on my leg if the jeans ride up or the socks drop down. Pulling the socks over the jeans seems to prevent the unwanted movement that exposes skin to the stiff boot top.

My biggest issue with these is that if the air temp gets higher than the mid to upper 40's I need to either be at least waist deep in the water or I'm sweating buckets and have to really pay attention to staying hydrated.
