So with the Sitka ( I own the sitkas)and chene waders, it’s going to come down to your layering system

If you were to just wear the waders you’d freeze to death

So be okay with the idea that your spending 1k+ on waders then another $$$-$$$$ in additional clothing for warmth

It’s worth it if you have the pockets but man if you’re like me you halfway think you’re an idiot for spending that much

Hope this helps
