Airflo got the breathability a bit wrong: air out, water in.

The waders were not the best and the boots lost the soles very quickly.
The standard price for a pair of "most recent technology" breathables is around £200-£300.
Anything else is "old technology" and therefore may not be so waterproof and / or thornproof.
Another thing to bear in mind with all tackle is the price point.
Some companies cover all of Europe and perhaps a certain price may not sell in the larger market so quality is sacrificed from excellent to good. This allows the new "middle of the road" product to sell to a wider market.
My punt would be Vision Extreme or Radipor, Simms or perhaps Orvis for the Guarantee.
For cheaper throw away jobs try Wychwood. The wader is ok but the neoprene stockingfoot is not very thick and wears very fast- but aquasure sorts it out.
