(request) I’m in the market for some hunting waders, my hunting partner wears the cabelas brand ones and he loves them but I’ve read that the quality has gone down since he purchased his. I’m looking for a neoprene wader camo isn’t essential. What can you guys recommend. (FYI located in Canada)

I've gone through a bunch of neoprene waders and they all suck. It's always the boots or the joint between the boots and the waders that fails. I've never had an issue with my boot footed fishing waders, but they aren’t neoprene. It looks like Frog Togg makes a boot foot neoprene wader, I'd probably start there.

Sitka makes a good neoprene wader. Very very expensive but they come with lifetime warranty.

I got cabelas because it’s a lifetime warranty and they were affordable. There are more expensive probably better quality but they will all fail as some point, waders are definitely not bifl especially if you use them frequently. My cabelas are going on 3 years and holding up well.

If this doesn't get traction or a lot of responses, look for reputable boot brands mentioned in BIFL and see if they make waders too. Eg. Google the phrase "reddit buyitforlife boots" or maybe even waders. That found me this: https://www.reddit.com/r/flyfishing/comments/pas6op/buy_it_for_life_waders/
