does anyone have the new Clearwater Endura waders from Orvis??? I'm thinking about buying these and have not seen them in person...

anyone??:huh:

I just bought a pair of Orvis (they came a couple days ago) the Silver Label stocking foot with seperate boot......they look sweet and comfy! I have had Hodgeman stocking foot waders and have been overall pleased with them, but I thought I would try another brand to see if I get longer life out of them. The Hodgemans generally last me about 3/4 of a season.:D

Bigfish, do you think that there is a big difference between the 2?? Its either hodgeman or orvis for me, although the LLBean ones have a full lifetime warranty... now that is tempting, but i've never seen anyone using them

What am I, chopped liver?

Eben I was going to buy the LL Bean breathable bootfoot waders..seem reasonable and have a lifetime guarantee.

I will let you know Eben, I am going to use them for the first time Thursday. They seem pretty similar in quality and construction.:huh:


How is that baby doing Eben?;) Its all good, isn't it!:D

spence I saw you liked the LL Bean waders so I'm going with those. You're still important around here..
:smash:

Spence who?:confused: :huh:


:D Just kiddin' Spence.;)

eban, I have the llbean breathable stocking foot. they "wicked" nice. They are really comfortable and have put in a lot of 6-8 hour days in them. I use the aquastealth boots. Equally as comfortable but I have run into a problem with them. I am going to be returning the boots, the stitching has come undone on the inseam of where the rubber sole meets the fabric on both boots.

BUT they do have a life time warrenty!!:D

funny my boots are coming unstiched too:huh: I think you have to get the boots 2 sizes too big so your not stretching out the seams..

hmmm maybe i will go with the beans.....:smash:
Spence your not chopped liver, your a liberal.:laughs:
* I really really wish teh bean waders had a studded aqua stealth sole... then I would be in heaven:(

has anyone tried the white river waders available through bass pro? ll bean bootfoot was sold out in my size...

heres another question about Orvis waders.. are the studded felt soles replacable?? I mean if I wear the studs out, is there a way to put in new studs?/ it says nothing on the website about this-

I havent seen this much talk about waders in awhile..
:smash:

waders are very important... especially now when its starting to get cold...

I don't know if anyone makes a studded boot any more. I'd get the boots one size larger, not two. Eben you just need to get used to wearing korkers :smash:

bah waders........real men get hypothermia
