So, what did you end up getting Jerdon? I have a pair of hodgeman breathables with the zipper. The zipper is worth it's weight in gold. Easy on. Easy off. Easy relief. Oh yeah, stocking foot. I wear cheap, oversized tennis shoes over the feet to protect against damage. They slip right into my force fins.

I went by Bass Pro and found some Redington breathable in stocking foot on sale. It was like 90 bucks. They are still working great after 3 years. I have some soft booties I wear over them for walking and the booties fit in my fins as well. I was using old sneakers but they would come apart in 3 months or so. NO zipper on these and that will be a top priority on my next set.

I would rate these an 8.
But I can say they were a great buy on sale.

Awesome. Sounds like you scored. Nice waders at a great price. I hope they last for a lot of years to come.

How do you like these so far? I read some reviews about them leaking at the zipper. Have any such issues?

BTW: what sizing did you end up deciding to go with? I wear 8.5 (9 athletic usually) and am in between going Small (foot size 6- Cool

vs Medium (8.5-11). I hate the baggy feeling of the leaking Hodgman Bootfoot waders I have...

The warranty is nice! But here in Canada

those Simms G3 Guide Goretex chest waders are $805.00!! They may good BUT not that good! Those are sooooo overpriced it’s rediculous! Rolling Eyes
