To help make whatever wader you decide to buy last make sure they fiit properly. The inseam should be long enough to let you lift your foot high enough to reach the seat of kitchen chair. If you can't you'll blow out all the seams in no time!!

Also watch where you sit when taking a break from the action, fortunatly punctures can be easily patched.
Jack,

I must agree with Ladyfisher, that's very good advice.
I've been fishing a pair of breathable waders from L.L. Bean for the last couple of years.
I'm not sure but they're probably their cheapest, $90.00 range?
No problems yet. I probably only get to fish about 50 times a year and they work for me.
They'll probably blow out on my Montana trip!!! Yikes!!!!
