They only get worn a couple of times a week during the season, so they're otherwise immaculate.
Have had PVC ones before, but found them bloody cold when standing in water, how do you rate these ones in that regard

They would also be cold. Like everything you need two pairs. One in 5mm neoprean for standing in water and southerly on the lake. One in breathable for when you have to walk more than stand.

However leaky waders are colder than breathable ones that don't leak. I did consider wetting my pants to warm up my feet but decided I would just be cold.
