BACK TO THE WADERS! I think I said this before some mo.'s ago but -
Like Pete G. said, Orvis sells lifestyle, not gear for pro's. I have a pair of the Orvis lace-up bootfoot breathables that leaked practically out of the box. The story for warranty coverage is too long to go into.I ended up repairing them myself and now they're spares. Beacuse I like the lace-up bootfoot style, I bought Cabelas at 1/2 the price. O.K- They are a little baggy but I'm fishing, not stylin'. They have padded knees, which anyone who's been in construction for 30 yrs. like me, really appreciates when crawling up a favorite rock. They don't leak-2 yrs mininmum 3 days/nights a week- and if they do the cost to replace them is cheap.
