Are you talking about actual hip boots? or are you talking about chaps sewed on to boots??
If you are hunting in alot of water alot of the time, you may want to look at an actual pair of hip boots. If you are looking for chaps attached to boots, there are several out there. I believe Wick has the highest quality ones made, but they are a little heavier and a little tougher to move in than the lighter weight chaps. Seeing as your are from SC, heat can be a problem. I would recommend a pair of 400 denier nylon condura chaps attached to either a regular uninsulated lacrosse Grange boot, or a alpha burly boot. The former is a little heavier, but I believe a little more resistant to tears and holes. I have a pair I bought from Valley Creek about 3 years ago and I love them. I will leave my Wicks sit and wear them in all but the coldest weather. I just like to be able to move in the woods and the lighter chaps just make it easier....All just my opinion.
