I recommend Redington. They have a new seamless brand that's receiving good reviews, I think they're called Sonic. They cost a little under $250. They have a couple of other options under $150.
I got it wrong. The Sonic brand isn't seamless. They don't sew their seams, they bond their seams. But it's made of the same number of waterproof membranes as Simms waders - 5- and 3-layers for a lot less.
I have had nothing but good luck with the regular Cabela's 3mm waders. I would still have the first pair I bought except for me leaving them on the floor and the mouse in my garage needing nest material. Except for big ragged holes, they do take a patch well.
I got a decent pair on sale from Cabelas. The key to not getting ripped off by Cabelas is buy on Sale. Check the Bargain Cave.
I have a pair of Simms Freestone waterproof-breathables that fall in the that price range. I love 'em.
My favorites are the Cabela's 3mm. Had em a couple years now and I do a lot of walking, no problems at all.
chota's...simple and well made
I got a pair of Orvis "Sonic Seam" waders. What sold me on them was the fact that the seams or welded together which means that there aren't a thousand needle holes that have to be made water proofed before all is said and done. Result, less chance of leakage. Important when your hip to waist deep in water.
Plus, they pack up in a nice little pack and are easy to transport, light weight and very durable.
Plus, Orvis has a really good warranty. If they can't be repaired by their factory, they'll replace them free or at a highly reduced price.
LL Bean - even their inexpensive waders are great.
