Eben - all of my Wicked Tough waders leaked at the seams in the feet (except the ones that tore a hole in a knee from a barnacle-covered rock
)...
Even the Orvis Pro Guides I had before the LL Beans leaked at the seams. I think the MAIN difference between the USA-made Simms and the various overseas-made waders is the quality of the workmanship in the seams, etc - not as much the actual materials. Gore-Tex is Gore-Tex.
That said, the material on the lower portion of the Simms G3's feels indestructible...
