I have neoprene, and a few breathable waders. The best and cost effective one I have is the Froggs Togg HellBender, chest height. I'm 5'10', 180lbs, wearing the size Medium, and it fits loosely like a wonderful glove.

I normally wade in the cold water during winter for fly fishing, and float tubing throughout the years. It's a great wader to use year round, even in the 80�F heat. Anything higher, well, you may want to wear a wicking layer. A pair of wicking socks will be a blessing during the hot days. During cold days, it allows you to get in and out of the wader much faster. Unlike neoprene, the wader don't hug your skin like a plastic sheets. It's like wearing a wind breaker for your entire body.
