I have a pair of Daiwa neoprene chest waders, cost about £55, which I swear by. Nothing warmer on a freezing windswept beach in January. And the unexpected wave won't wash over the top of your wellies and leave you with wet feet.

Ron Thompson Waders

Mark,
Many of us down this way use RT waders. No problems at all. Best to use the cleated sole rather than the felt sole which tends to fall off. I have a pair of 11/12, new in their rucksack which were too big for me. If the size suits give me a shout. €60.00 + P&P.

Jim.

They're fine Mark, have had a pair for two years now with no problems, and very little wear or tear. They are very comfy and extremely warm.

Just be careful with the shoe size. If you are a size 12 shoe normally, you may struggle with the size 11/12 waders. Mine were a little tight at first but loosened out after a few sessions (I'm a 12).
