Every wader (brand) that I've ever owned has eventually leaked. Whether it was near the booty or in the crotch...I've been unlucky I guess....
In my opinion, there is no KING of waders out there. Aside from the price, the most important thing is
customer service. As long as you own
2 pairs of waders in which both have a "NO QUESTIONS ASKED" - return policy, you're all set. Orvis asks a question or two but they
will exchange them. LLBean doesn't ask me anything.
When one pair is damaged, I have the 2nd one as back-up until the new one arrives...and so-on. I won't be spending goo-goo dollars on waders anymore. Strictly LLBean. The price is usually decent, and like I said...they ALL leak eventually. It's the return policy that's important to me.
Not sure where I'm going with this...but in case someones' looking for a set of Orvis Waders, they're on clearance right now.
Keep in mind, eastendlu doesn't like them.
