I am in the market for a new pair of chest waders.  I just discovered (the hard way) that mine are dry rotted in the seams.  I haven't shopped for a pair for so long I don't even know were to start.

Waders have, like everything else ...came a long way. Read up and buy with best pair you can. They tend to hit ya hard in the pocket book! The neo waders are worth every penny on thos ecold mornings

Are the Neo Waders Hotter on those warm days?

We hardly have what I consider"cold weather" here in Va. and  I have not had any problem during duck season, average temps can range from  freezing to mid 60s'  Only time I've been "real hot" with them on is trying to brush/build blinds in late Aug-Sept.   Won't do that again!

Do the neo waders come in different thicknesses and if so what do you recommend? I am usually hunting in temps from 45-65. The water is usually in the 60's as well.

Yes they do, I think average is 3 grams of thinsulate, you also can get 5 grams.  With the temps you discribe, sounds like the 3 would be fine.... but it's your cold butt if it's not, just kidding

I purchased the thickest pair I could find for a late season Alaskan sammon trip and they worked great in the ice cold waters of alaska but in Michigan they are a bit warm for most occasions including duck season. I think in retrospect I would go wiith the thinner pair and layer up underneath for cold conditions.

I do a lot of hunting when there is ice on the water and unless you plan to use them trout fishing or jump shooting, I'd go with the warmest you can afford. Mine are 5mm neoprene with 1000 grams of thinsulate in the boot. If you are hunting in warmer climates perhaps the 3 mm is fine but the thicker the neoprene, the more durable it will be as well. I'd still go with heavy insulation in the boot. When it's warm I wear them around my waist by using the straps as a belt. Works just dandy!
