Suggestions for budget friendly waders

[Jimbee]

I'm planning an Alaska salmon fishing trip. I'm looking for suggestions on waders. It seems like stocking foot type would work best for reduced size and weight for flying and easier to accommodate foot size. There will be 3 of us. My son has giant feet, I'm a size 12 and my son's girlfriend is petite. Suggestions, ideas?

I know nothing about waders but my son-in-law is a duck hunting nut. He says Rogers Sporting Goods has some good deals on waders. You may want to check them out.

Rogers for sure.

Frog toggs are economical options for the occasional user. I bought the pants style wader and took them twice to Alaska and once to the Yukon. They worked fine….did everything i needed

Rogers generally has the best pricing and a decent selection.

Sometimes Sierra gets Simms in at decent prices.

When I moved to Alaska, I wasn't sure if I wanted to get neoprene waders or the thinner stocking foot type, so I went and got a cheap set of waders from Walmart for a little over $100 which included the waders and the boots. I figured by the end of the season I would which type I wanted to replace them with when they started falling apart. Those same waders are now 9 years old and still work fine. They have been on countless fishing trips, recovered kids lures that were hung up on the opposite side of the river by the bucketload, and been on a few hunting trips in going through alders without issue. I have replaced the boots once and done a field repair with superglue when a snagged them with a hook. If they were stolen tomorrow I would probably buy the same type again.
