If Paul Harvey were still alive that is what he would say about our wader experiences. When we went to Alaska, the neoprene waders were great, but in NC where the weather is mild, they are so uncomfortable. The lite weight waders that I bought last year were super lite and cool but my grandson borrowed them to fish in a ravine and when he brought them back, they were shredded beyond repair. They simply do not hold up to the NC underbrush.
However, we bought the Orvis Tailwaters XT waders at the Orvis Warehouse Sale for about $38 which is about 10 cents on the dollar, because they were refurbished. We took them out Saturday to the Great Smoky Mountains Natiopnal Park and they were great. As we crawled thru the underbrush to approach the wild trout, they did not even get a scratch. So, for NC mountains, you might consider purchasing those waders.
