Default waders brands? cabelas

Need to get a set for this years adventures, anyone ever use the Cabela’s Men’s Premium Zip Breathable Stockingfoot Fishing Waders with 4MOST DRY-PLUS™, price seems reasonable? Only get out a week or two each season, Never owned breathables before always did wet wading but I'm getting old.

I bought a pair last year and they were just fine. I did a couple trips with them in particular I did a hard 1 day trip walking 23 km up the Ram River in September. Climbed up rocks and went down slopes and they held up just fine with brushing past all kinds of brush and trees. I have no issues with them.

I'd also add, as I get older, that deep wading shock takes place in shallower water every year.

hodgman h3 and h5 waders have always proven good for me on the coast. the h3's are around 140 and the h5's are around 250. I found for the price they have held up longer than all the other cheaper brands. the H3's i currently have are going on 4 years. that includes bush wacking a bit to get into the river.
