Funny you mention that...I got a brand new pair from Rogers after last season - breathable w/lining. Hung them up but when I went to use this this year I noticed a cut through the shin area. I don't have a clue how it happened to so I sewed it and covered the seam with Shoe Goo. It held for a time or two then developed another leak. I patched the second area inside and out, if they leak again they're going in the trash. My last pair of breathables from Bass Pros lasted more than 10 years.
