Wader advice.

I've been pushing around the thought of some mid-range waders for my adventures. I am in between a few different models, but your input is greatly appreciated.

I do fly fish, and as a result do plan on tubing in cooler mountain climates (nothing freezing) as well as warmer bays and lakes.

I don't want to be cooked, nor do I want to be too cold. That being said, I have done a lot of research and have seen different wader shootouts and I think I've narrowed it down to a couple different picks.

These are the waders I have been pondering:

Redington Sonic Pro
Orvis Silver Sonic
Patagonia Rio Gallegos
Patagonia Rio Azul

Comfort is going to be the [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] factor... followed by a really close [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] for durability. I take care of my equipment compulsively.

I'm a bit of a sucker for Patagonia outerwear.

Not to throw a wrench into it, but look into LL bean waders. Great warranty.

i rock some Hodgeman ones...booted, love them...cheap and still do the job, solid!....good luck with whatever you get....

Really should consider a front zipper also.
