Merino wool top and bottom that insulate when damp and do not stink after three days, which is the entire argument against cheaper synthetic layers.
Commercial-grade PVC bibs that keep spray, rain, and fish slime off you through a full day of trolling, and that shrug off the things that destroy consumer rain gear.
Breathable four-layer waders that survive a tributary steelhead season, from the company whose warranty and repair program is the actual reason to pay up.
Fleece-lined neoprene with fold-back index finger and thumb, so you can tie a knot in twenty-degree wind and then cover your hands again.
Breathable waders at a third the price of premium, which is the right first pair for someone who has not yet decided how many steelhead trips a year they want.
