I go river trout fishing a few times a year, and my whole life I've been using rubber hip boots at ~$50 a pop. They only seem to last three years before they've got too many holes/punctures and seem to deteriorate.
I'm thinking about making the jump to some nice waders. I've got a couple idiot-tier questions:
Are there different materials waders are made of? What are the benefits/cons of each?
Is there a model of wader or material that offers: durability, doesn't get too hot, and comfort?
How much should I be spending to get quality and long lasting waders?
