I like my LL Bean waders, had a leak and new waders at the house before I could fish again, no problems with their customer service  .

As much as it hurts I have to Agree w/ Skip N 
I had a pair that I returned to their outlet and since they didn't carry the waders they gave me a Gift card for the full price. I went home ordered them online and had them in 3 days...can't knock that.
I think there service is top notch. |

If you're serious about the LLBean waders, get an LL Bead VISA card. Free next day shipping on all orders. If my waders leak I call and have a new pair the very next day, send the old ones back at my leisure. Every dollar you spend you get merchandise credit for more stuff...

I have several pairs of Simms Guide Weight (Gore-Tex) waders, as well as a few of the non-Gore-tex fabric breathables.
I like them, but, surprise surprise, they leak too after awhile. So I've sent each pair that I own back to the Bozeman, MT factory at least once, some twice to get warranty repair.
I still have a pair of Simms neoprene bootfoot waders from 1994. I have abused the crap out of them on many a rockpile and ... they've only sprung one leak which was patched up with goop. I wish Simms didn't discontinue their neoprenes, they're good to have as a trusty backup when the breathables breath a little too much.

Ok Skip, you must like getting leaks, and you obviously enjoy exchanging waders all the time , at the very least your making money..Sounds like fun  |

$99 vs $425,,,,,,, 
could buy 4 pairs- have 2 in the sled, 1 in the shed and one on your arse...seems like a no brainer to me, and at $425 I still doubt they tear/leak proof  |
Are my eyes red?

waiters ? I dont tip them unless the sevice is exceptional , now waitresses are on a different service plan . If they look good I tip well if they are hot and the service sucks I tip well . If the service is great and she is a dumper she will get a tip but just a tip .

yeah no way am I shelling out 425 for waders, I have some Cabela's waders, but the bean service sounds amazing, so I think I'll pick up a pair of those too!

Um, this is the first good pair of waders i have owned and they lasted a good two years before i started getting leaks. And i dont know how getting a refund means im making money. But whatever, I just like knowing that in the event my waders fail on me i can return them for a refund or exhange for another pair. Find me a pair of waders that will NEVER leak and i will buy them. Until then, its Bean all the way |
