Default breathable waist waders... ARGH!

I got some Hodgman waist high breathables from Santa.
They are a large. TOO BIG! They look like clown pants and the foot is huge, the neoprene toe gets all wadded up!
Then I tried on Bill's medium. Not a long enough inseam, but otherwise fit pretty well!
On the Hodgman box, it says they make a medium tall. After calling every G.I. Joe's and finally talking with Hodgman, back east, they say that this product is new. That chart is standard for all products and they don't yet make a medium tall in this product.
Does ANY company make a breathable wader in a medium tall? I need the inseam, not the girth of a large.
I prob could even use a small if the inseam is long enough!
It's driving me crazy!
Does anyone know any company that does sizing specialties? I want to be comfortable and dry!

Jennie, I had a similar problem with GI Joes and the Hodgman waiders. After about 6 weeks and at least 6 trips to the store, I gave up and went over to Orvis (fly country outfitters here in Salem) and got the set I now use. The additional cost was not that much and the hassle factor was much less. Good luck

Has anyone dealt with Reddington? They show a nice breathable wader in a med long.

Redington is a fabulous company to deal with. They offer a four year unconditional warranty on their waders. They will replace them, no questions asked, if they leak for ANY reason within four years of purchase. Great company.

I'm going with Redington.
I really like the looks of their waist highs.
Thanks!
