Want to buy a pair of light weight breathable waders. Whats best, Goretex or some other kind? What brand, Cabelas or Simms, other? thanks

Check out the Dan Bailey's Entrant GII. They haven't failed me in 2 years.

I bought the Cabelas premium Goretex breathables, and I love them. I have had nothing but good experiences with their stuff, and mostly their policy of standing behind their product. It helps that I only live 40 minutes from one of their largest stores. I bought these after they replaced a set of my neoprenes that were 4 years old, and developed a seam leak. No questions asked. I am not sure who is making their waders for them, bu I can assure you that they don't have a wader factory. I have also heard that the Simms Pro Guide series are excellent. All I know is that they are so much lighter and easier on your shoulders than neoprenes that you'll love them. Damm warm too, if you wear longies and a pair of fleece pants under them.

I agree that the Dan Baileys are excellent and the price was competitive when I purchased mine but that was over two years ago and a couple hundred days of walking the rivers. Enough said!
