Looking for a new pair for ducks. Dont hunt that much anymore (maybe 10-12 days/ season). Live in upstate SC but do alot of my hunting on the eastern shore of MD. Heres the friggin kicker, im allergic to neoprene...like Anaphylactic shock staus. Yeah im a duck hunter thats allergic to neoprene..
Trust me i know it sucks

. That being said my last pair of cabelas breathables finally gave up. Looking at possibly the frogg toggs grand refuge 2.0-they seem to have solid reviews. Anyone have any thoughts/recomendations or happen to own a pair of frogg toggs waders?

I picked up a set of these thanks to a very nice sale at local store and they are the most comfortable I have had - and I have had Hodgman, Cabelas, Lacrosse, Bass Pro over the years. My buddy has had the insulated Banded Redzone variety a couple of years now, and he just picked up the uninsulated ones also because he liked the others so much.

ETA: Bass Pro has some Banded waders on clearance: Banded

I loved Cabela's waders but will not waste my time or money with another pair. Junk like so much stuff with the Bass Pro (Redhead) logo...

Chadsc Member Joined Oct 2018 Posts 352 EE 100% (10) SC, USA	Posted: 1/10/2020 9:37:32 PM EDT [#10] If they hold up, these rogers will be my favorite. The zip out liner is fantastic. I dont love the strap clips-but not a deal breaker. Been extremely happy so far.

I've gone through 3 pair in 2 years now. 2 Rogers, both leaked...bought stupid expensive Sitka...they leaked too....and are cold as crap. Nice to walk in though... Buy Rogers and return them when they leak. Don't buy banded anything.
