i don't have those waders, but simms is one of the few companies that I have had zero issues with their products.
if your looking for tough waders, check out patagonia too. I love mine. One of the best fishing purchases I've made. I used to go through 2 or 3 pairs of cabelas a season until I got them. Plus, patagonia's customer service and warranty are great. Pricey though.

I have a pair of boot foot breathables that I have to send back to Simms about every other year to fix a small leak. Usually its about $35. Good product but I think the salt just beats everything up.

I am glad to hear some feedback about the Muck boot on the Simms, I was thinking about getting a pair. Up till now, I keep a few pair of boot foots and and one attached stockingfoot style of waters (new cabelas thing) ready to go and I genenerally replace one pair per year as they rotate thru the line. (I get about 2-2.5 seasons on a pair then toss them)
I have tried most every brand (except the expensive simms) and I have to say you pretty much get what you pay for. The key thing is to have multiple pairs ready and get good customer service. Frankly I find the easy in/out of a boot foot the best way to go, I don't like dealing with laces on waders although they provide more support.
Not to change the topic but I am intersested in trying a wetsuit this year. Is a 3mm suit the way to go? Any particular brand better than another? I was wondering how cold you get standing in air in those suits?
