Wader Life?
I've been reading with interest some recent threads regarding waders and I have a question, How long should a pair of waders reasonably be expected to last? I bought a pair of Hodgeman Guidelites last Summer and today after four hours in my favorite spring creek I had a leak in the crotch area. Shouldn't waders be expected to last a few seasons rather than a few months?
Interested in some of your experiences as well as how long you've been using your current waders, what brands, and under what conditions.
I can expect to be on the water at least once a week throughout the year, so in excess of 52 outings.
I always hang my waders and let them dry immediately following any outing.
What gives?
