I've had 'em all in the last 3 decades. They will all fail.

When I started wearing banded breathables several years ago, I was changed. I never wear my neoprenes anymore. I've still got a slow leaking pair of lacrosse brush tuff extremes that I could make work, but never hunted in them at all last year.

The breathables do suck when breaking ice, that's probably the only place where neoprene wins.

For under $200, go to Rogers and hope you get what you need.
