Anyone who spends any length of time wading know that breathable fishing waders are the way to go. If you've never tried them, you should. In my opinion, breathable fishing waders are the most comfortable and functional kind of waders. Breathable waders represent the pinnacle of wader design and function. For the discriminating angler who wants the very best in wading technology, breathable waders are the way to go.

Breathable waders aren't normally much more expensive than neoprene wader, so given the choice I would go with breathable waders. If most of your wading is done in cold water, then maybe you should save the money. Neoprene waders tend to be much warmer than breathable waders, so if you're always in cold water, go with neoprene. The cool thing about breathable waders is that you can layer clothes underneath them when you're fishing in cold situations. That way they can be quite warm as well.

Breathable fishing waders come in one of two ways. With a stocking foot or boot foot. Again, this is a judgment call and completely up to personal preference. Stocking foot breathable waders have a neoprene sock sewn into them. Once you put them on, you then have to put on a wading boot. Boot foot breathable waders are just what the name suggests. Boot foot waders are the same thing, except they have a boot built into them. In other words, when you put boot foot breathable waders on, you're in effect putting your boot on as well. Which type to go with is completely up to you? If you do a lot of walking and wading while fishing, I would suggest Stocking foot waders and wading boots. If you don't move around a whole lot while fishing, go with the boot foot. Again, this is all personal preference. There is no right and no wrong answer.

The bottom line is that when it comes to fishing waders, for my money there is no better choice than breathable fishing waders. There are many different manufacturers that make them so which kind is your choice. The point of the matter is that if you spend any amount of time standing in water attempting to catch fish, breathable fishing waders are the way to go.
