I used the Orvis Pro Guide for a year or 2 -- they leaked at the neoprene foot seam. I have used the LL Bean Wicked Tough Gore Tex waders for the past year or so -- Three pairs leaked at the neoprene foot seam.
I finally did what you did and I bought a pair of the G3 waders. Just got them this week. I hope they will be better. I rinse my waders off after every time I wear them.
One thing to note that probably makes the Simms better than the others -- Simms is the only one made in the USA still (the Orvis and Bean are made overseas, probably making them cost less but leak more).
I will say however that the LL Bean warranty/customer service is second to none -- full refund no questions asked each time.
