I have Mack's waders that i bought 2 years ago and i was told that the above was true for Mack's as well. Hard for me to believe. I know the new ones are LaCrosse with a Mack's logo stamped on so I'm not sure the same holds true. Or if it ever did.. ?

No, not if you punch a hole in them. In that case, you're out of luck. All of my returns have been the result of small leaks in seams after a few seasons.

Gocha. That makes better sense than the info i was given.

I have also settled on Cabelas.

I had a pair of cabelas waders that I ran a stick through the very first time I wore them. I called them, let them know up front that it was 100% my fault, and they accepted the return anyway. It may have to do with how much you buy from cabelas, etc...

I had some Hodgeman neoprene which lasted many seasons, then I pulled out some older rubber vinyl? Lacrosse to get a season or two out of them. They actually lasted a few years. Last year it was time for some new ones and decided to take a chance on the 3mm Cabelas, decent price, free shipping, no tax.

They seem just fine (dry & warm) and they'll have to be, waders prices have gone cuckoo.

On the old rubber/vinyl/canvas styles I could tuck my coat inside the waders, suspenders on the outside and all my crap in my coat pockets would stay dry. Not going to happen with neoprene's (or have I gotten fatter?) so my crap gets wet. Coughed up some money for a Drake deep water wading jacket last year, now I'm much happier, as it is really short. Looks kinda goofy but since I don't have to look at me, I'm okay with it.

can somone post a link to the cabela's waders you're referring too? My leak seems to be getting worse and I need to buy myself a Christmas present.

I just ordered these, but they were on sale for $127. They came in the mail yesterday. They are just the straight 3mm neoprene basic waders. Not much reinforcing like the LightMags or ArmorFlex waders.

The only reason I got these was because they were pretty much out of everything else. I had a $150 credit that I used from a 3 year old pair of LightMags I returned at the end of last season and forgot to order waders prior to duck season. Pickings are pretty slim at this stage in the game.

3mm Neo-Stretch $169.99 on sale for 119.95 now.

Randy, the fat boy waders are $119.99. Normal size is $170. I reckon one could always use a little extra room to sneak out those few coots over the limit am I right?!

I guess.

Yeah, I just glanced at the page and mis-read it.

Good waders for the price, though.

Had a pair of the Lacrosse 5mm's that lasted me probably 6 seasons. In the offseason I ordered the new Mack's 3mm ones that are now, coincidentally, made by Lacrosse. They've been good to me so far. So many of these new waders these days have only a velcro strap on the shoulder straps. These Macks of clips and velcro.... double protection.

Same here. Bought a pair of 3mm Big Ditch from Mack's about a month ago but haven't had a chance to try them out. Had a pair of Lacrosse for probably 5 to 6 years before they finally crapped out. Lookin forward to trying the new ones.

after much research and debating I bought a pair of Rodgers waders from Rodger's Sporting Goods.

I've been real happy with my 3.5mm from Rogers. Fit as good as any wader and the price is right. Bonus feature is the fur lined hand warmer!
