Great pictures guys!

A couple of things I have learned:

Bean’s Wicked Tough  These are 3 layer Gore-Tex uppers with 5 ply on the lower legs.  I own these and really like them.  They do have a straight 3-ply model called the GQS at $249 but for my money the extra $50 for the 5 ply lowers is worth it.    

Bean’s Emerger Breathable These waders aren’t Gore-Tex but everyone I know that wears them like them and the price is right at $99.

Flywight II  These aren’t classified as breathable, but they do breathe and for the money ($59) are a pretty good wader.  I bought some for my stepson and he really likes them.  My wife has a pair too because they have sizes specifically for women.  

Bean has the same unconditional guarantee for the life of the product that many of the other guys have.
