After roasting on sunny days in neoprene waders for too long, I decided to give breathables a try and got a set of Hodgeman Wadelites. They were only $89.00 on sale at Sport Chalet. Tried them tubing at King Harbor on a warm afternoon, and was much more comfortable. They work, but they're not super durable. I've punctured them several times while bushwacking along creeks. I'm sure some of the higher-end stuff is more resistant to punctures and rips.
