Breathables Question

[flysully]

Most savvy fishermen are relying on the "top wader seller's" warrantee which is "satisfaction guaranteed" to take care of their breathable bootfoot waders leakage, which is a given in most every case for the breathables, regardless of the make, it seems, from posts I've read, just forever. For some reason, no matter what improvements are made, breathable bootfoots still leak. They may leak after four outings or after a year, but they do leak. After 16 cheerful returns at my wader store, I decided to take a chance on Simms, whose waders fishermen praise. Yes, it was an upgrade price-wise. And that's why many of us steer clear of Simms. So far, so good. Maybe six outings? Their warrantee is totally different than the big O. First you test them and try to find the leak and if you find it, maybe it's a hook hole, etc? , use their included free patch kit to repair the leak. If you're still leaking, you need to return them to Simms - postage about $11. I'll find out what occurs then if I do have a leak. I hear the first repair is free. I hope I will be as pleased as others I've met on the beach wearing Simms waders. Otherwise, I'll be wondering why I strayed from that great O warrantee! I've got to say, though, that the Simms bootfoot breathables have the most comfortable boot I've worn, bar none. The boot stays put on your foot. Good luck in your search for non leaking bootfoot breathables. Right now, I feel all the mfrs. are hoping that theirs are the ones that won't leak after a couple of trips. But, from what I hear on the beach, most do!
