Well the last thing I did at the end of duck season was toss my old waders. I had some lacrosse old school rubbers and they were heavy but totally bombproof even in thorns/kneeling in a boat/river drift wood piles etc .... eventually time got them. To my dismay they don't sell those anymore!! Now I need to get another pair and I'm hoping that anyone who hunts ducks can tell me what they're using and how good or bad their luck has been with them. I like using real world testimonials in purchase decisions..let's hear the good news and the bad!!!
