I've noticed that when the water is cold - my sweats that I wear beneath breathable waders get soaked... but only when the water is cold. I think that your body heat makes you sweat and that explains how you get soaked. I think this because I can wear the same stuff the next time out when the water is not so cold and not get soaked. Make sense?

I have the Cabela's Premium Dry-Plus wader's and I'm EXTREMELY happy with them.
They are very easy to get in and out of, super comfortable, and extrmely durable with re-enforced EVERYTHING.
They are not cheap ($170.00) but if you do decide to spend the dough, you won't be disappointed.
I hate Neoprene (No offense to those who like em'!) You feel like your in a sauna after the air temp goes above 70.
For Winter Tubing, I layer my lower half with Thermals and nylon sweat pants Basketball Warm-ups) and the Waders.
Above the waist; Thermals, a T-shirt, a Sweat Shirt or Pullover (If the air is not going above 55 that day) Rain Jacket and of course, My Boo-Ya Beanie! I can then pull off layers accordingly.
If it is going to be super cold....I usually sleep in! Ha Ha!
Just my 2-cents.
Hope you find what you are looking for!
Peace!

Hey Fongster,
I fish a lot of water here in So Cal. and the mid west. I went thru a lot of different waders without spending the money on breathables. There is by far no comparison to these types of waders. I bought a pair of simms guide model hip waders about 4 yrs. ago. They are Goretex and come with articulated extra reinforced knees. This allows you to bend easily at the knees. Very comfortable. And because they breathe you don't get any moisture inside thus keeping you dry and warm. I send them back to Simms in Boseman MOntana once a year and get them ckecked. They will do a pressure check and fix any pin holes for about 20 bucks. I have abused my waders and they still work great. They are so thin, there is no drag when tubing or wading. You can really tell the difference when you wade a big river like the Henry's Fork or the Big Hole. If you tube at night you can't beat them. BURGIE
