It has been my experience that when I have gone cheap on the breathables, after a relatively short time, you might as well be wet wading because they leak. The higher quality waders will have several different layers that are not easily punctured by berry bushes, etc. andthey hold up for a long time.
You might want to check out some of the web sites like Cabela's bargain cave - or visit the cave if you have the chance. Also, check out Sierra trading Post because they sometimes have pretty good deals on breathables.
