Just a quick update on this thread. I have several sets of waders ranging from Patagonia chest waders, to Frogg Toggs waist waders to hip waders. I have used my hip waders the most. Over two years ago, I chose a brand called Chota Hippies. I have been through several states with these waders and into some pretty thick brush during fishing. They have held up but along the way developed pinhole leaks in the shin area (expected when bushwacking) to a large gash in the material above the knee. I repaired the pinhole leaks which are easy to spot using rubbing alcohol, a spray bottle and aquaseal or seam grip. The gash on the knee was easily fixed also with a leftover bit of ripstop from an old air mattress repair kit. I continue to use these waders to this day with no leakage. The majority of situations I am in which requires waders, the water is generally knee deep or less, especially if fishing a headwaters area or a tributary stream feeding a larger river. Whenever these waders ultimately fail, I will replace them with another pair. I have the camo version of the waders.
