Birchy,
I bought a pair of Wright and McGills at 200 $ came with thin booties that are awesome. Built in gravel guards, double seam stitching and and back support belt. Hands down the best deal ive seen so far. Ive used approx 20-25 times and have trudged through some pretty bushie bush stuff and have waded on my knees into some brown pools and have had 0 leaks and no signs of wear anywhere on the waiders.
Regards Mike
