If I get 3yrs out of them I'll be more than satisfied.

Can't imagine ever wearing neoprenes again.
If I can get a pair of waders to last 3 WEEKS I'm impressed. A lot of walkin. I think I am the reason Orvis changed their wader policy. I was goin through about 6 pairs a year. This pair I got in the fall are already startin to go at the seams. Gotta take em over tomorrow and see what they are gonna do.
I get aggravated when you shell 225 for a pair of waders, take them off, and you're wet, and not from persperation.

"Which ever model or style you guys buy, just remember the most important thing, is not to FOT in them."------That's proably why they keep goin at the seams.

I have looked at other brands. I started with Prolines years ago. Simms seem nice. My father instilled the "You get what you pay for" theory in us as kids, but they are really expensive. Cabella's has come out with the boot foots waders with the built in laces like Orvis. I miss mine. They were like walking in 4x4 on the sand compared to regular boot foot waders.

But then again, I see people all the time walkin the beaches at night that still just wear shorts, so why the need for waders at all (I like bein warm and dry, especailly when spendin 8+ hrs in the surf.)
