  11. hahaha, thing i noticed with waders is , when wearing shorts, THEY TEND TO RIP THE HAIRS OUT FOR YOUR LEGS WHEN YOUR SWEATY hahaha, so i wear footy socks, and pull them over up above my knees... hahaha, it also stops them from getting bunched up in the boot.
  12. ive also been told the neoprene are pretty good... nice and warm they say
  13. the original dimple boots that came with the hornes, are incredibley comfy.. put them on and WOW... almost as good as slippers...
  14. im on my 4th set of waders... can only advise STAY AWAY FROM THE CHEAPIES...they are cheap for a reason is what ive found.. im not going to bag others brands but will say im more than happy with my HORNES waders.. i paid from memory, $179 and are custom made to my size..

  17. gday nate and welcome, alvey all the way for me... as mentioned,an MT8144 from snyderglas or an older butterworth with an alvey is a perfect match imho..., i have 3 alveys, with my latest being bought 2 weeks ago brand new,,,it feels exaclty the same as my 25 vintage alveys, and yep, can swap parts if need be...the new one sounds a bit different though, more high pitched, but still that great sound...i swear by them, so does my brother who uses the same combo, as does another brother also with the snyder/650c, and yet another brother with butterworths and alveys X2, as mentioned, an oval for
