I have a breathable Stholquist, and it seems quite rugged.  I wear it on trips 
with lots of scouting through the bush and so on.

Because it is breathable, I use the relief zipper, and I can have full feet.

Pals with non-breathable suits don't have feet or relief zipper, which is good 
because they sweat so much they need to hold the ankle gasket open to drain it 
out, and they would not need to use a relief zipper much anyway--and of course 
they could let that drain out the ankle also. =-O
