Default Looking for waders that will last

Can't seem to get more than 1-2 years out of the Cabela's SuperMag 1600 waders. I love them but i would like a pair that hold up better. Might try one more pair, but for $240 the darn things should last atleast 5 years or more.
Ended up getting the Columbia Gadwall 1000 waders and leaked after two hunts.
I think I'm going to try LaCrosse, what are you guys using??

Very seldom do you see them for less than $259.00 but I did luck into a $229.00 find my last pair at R & R Sports (Hunting and Fishing only) in Clinton Iowa.

LaCrosse Brush-Tuff 1200's for me, they have the bonded armor on the knees. I have done most of my hunting by walking in and they've made it two seasons with only a little wear between the knees where they rub together.

Just something to think about....If you buy Scheels brand waders, they will replace them for nothing within two years of purchase if you have a problem..No questions asked. I had a seam in mine go bad this year. I just took em back, didnt have a receipt and they gave me a new pair..Great customer service. I've never had ANY waders that have held up for years and years. I use em hard and it seems they leak at some point. You cant go wrong with a warranty like that...Just food for thought. Huff

Not anymore, only for the first year, with a receipt. After that they pro rate the use you got out of them. They gave me $60 for the last pair i took back after two seasons.

I have had the supermags for 5 years and they have held up great. Here is cabelas return policy off the website

Cabela's brand clothing and footwear is guaranteed for the lifetime of the product under normal wear and tear and defects in workmanship.

All other Cabela's brand merchandise and National brand boots and shoes are guaranteed for one full year under normal use and against defects in materials or workmanship.

When I read the topic of this thread I just started laughing cause there isnt a brand of waders that will last. As mentioned I just buy Scheels waders cause when they spring a leak, and they will, I just return them no questions asked even without a receipt and thats FOR LIFE!!

a pair that will last??? haha i dont think they make them.. lol

but i have been using Cabelas super mag's now for 3 years... best wader that i have had... and i have went with the lacross also in the past

my dad just got some lacross this year and he likes them, but we will see if they will outlast his last ones i guess... he also had the cabelas super mags, but got a nasty hole in them last year from a fence... that was a wet hunt for him lol
