Given the inherent problems associated with the off shore manufacture of waders make sure you buy exactly what is recommended by folks with long experience with the specific wader. The problem here, is by the time folks have long experience with a specific wader they are normally no longer on the market and the replacement can be garbage.

Since all waders are now produced off shore there are virtually no repairs available. They just send you a new pair that will probably fail in the same manner that yours did..... bummer.
