I'm looking for a good place to shop for fishing waders. I'm looking for quality breathable waders chest length. Browse will be used for trout fishing. I was at bass pro last night but I would like to see what other stores offer. Also is there a place in MD that sells LL Bean?

Don't know where you are, but I think there's an LL Bean store at Tyson's Corner, VA.

There used to be an Orvis store near the mall in Tysons too. Probably cost an arm and a leg though.

I bought a set of insulated Red Ball hip waders......in 1990! They are still leak proof and in good condition.

L.L.Bean outlet in Queenstown, not sure if they would carry those there. IIRC they were more clothes and footwear. Maybe call?

The queens town location has been closed. I just called. I'm really not a fan of driving to NOVA in Tysons corner, but I may have to. Amazon is looking good too.

Bass Pro has better waders in the Fly Fishing shop. I missed them the first few times I bought waders there.

A stocking foot set usually lasts me 2 summers. I get the same life out of winter neoprene boot waders.

I'm going into my third year with a pair of Frogg Toggs Hellbenders. They needed a patch on a seam a few weeks ago (fishing the Gunpowder in the winter is not an enjoyable time to find a leak), but otherwise they have held up fine, especially when they cost a fraction of what some other brands do. I am not at all careful of my waders, and they have withstood sliding down banks and rocks and bulling my way through thorns.

There's an Orvis affiliate in Frederick. Call ahead, I don't remember if they stock waders. I have a set of waders from Orvis I got in 2004. They held up to three years of fishing Pennsylvania waters until I stopped going to PA. The Orvis shop in Tysons Corner has shrunk its fly fishing section to a quarter of what it used to be. So sad. The LL Bean store at the Tysons Corner Galleria is huge. At some point I will be going stream fishing again, but it's such a hike from where I live now.

Backwater Angler, which is up near the Gunpowder River. They used to have a good selection, but I haven't been up there in years, so you should call first.

I plan on getting out there early tomorrow. I check the waders I have now and they are going to leak, so I'll be sticking to the shores until I find something.
