This thread is too informative to move, like the last one where our new member started a pissing contest.

I'm just gonna edit out the crap.

You arrived with a real bang, NoSpots4U.

Lighten up or your stay here may be a brief one.

Jeez, and it's only Octiber. God help us come February

Tell me what I did wrong.
I stated an opinion and was hopped on right away.
Sorry if I can't just sit and take it.

you stated your opinion by saying I was full of it, that was not needed, all I said was you were wrong and that it was more than a month on the wader review go back and read your post..........

Knock it off now. Please.

Nospots. Personal attacks aren't welcome here. State your opinion. I left the treads where you stated your opinion, and edited out the personal jibes you threw at Bill. Then, I edited out his returns at you, and other members' comments that added to the flame war. The only reason this thread is still here, and still open, is that there is good information here, including your opinion. I have better things to do today than edit a dozen posts in a thread. I don't like closing or removing threads.

So, just be nice to each other. If you disagree, just say so. Don't get personal and call anyone illiterate, or whatever else went on here.

Mike,

My wife and I could use a little time off during the evening from our 2 year old son.

Do you moonlight?

BACK TO THE WADERS! I think I said this before some mo.'s ago but -
Like Pete G. said, Orvis sells lifestyle, not gear for pro's. I have a pair of the Orvis lace-up bootfoot breathables that leaked practically out of the box. The story for warranty coverage is too long to go into.I ended up repairing them myself and now they're spares. Beacuse I like the lace-up bootfoot style, I bought Cabelas at 1/2 the price. O.K- They are a little baggy but I'm fishing, not stylin'. They have padded knees, which anyone who's been in construction for 30 yrs. like me, really appreciates when crawling up a favorite rock. They don't leak-2 yrs mininmum 3 days/nights a week- and if they do the cost to replace them is cheap.

You know, I have been thru so many waders in my life ! I am just so impressed with the simms , I think more from a comfort standpoint. As for abrasion, I fished Block Island two weeks ago and was in some craggy, nasty, surf...I was knocked down more than once onto barnicle encrusted rocks etc... while I was bruised, the waders are no worse for the wear. also the breathability is amazing, no more clammy feeling, they wick out moiture very well, and it amazes me because I am never wet. When I started it was all rubber waders and man were those uncomfortable. I really think you get what you pay for in most cases. While I had sticker shock at first I now feel it was the single best investment I made this year in equipment.

For those with stocking foot waders, what wading boot do you like? How about felt vs. Aquastealth or studded vs. unstudded? I'm planning on purchasing a pair of Bean West Branch stocking foot waders but I am still undecided on the wading boots. If I go with unstudded boots, I would also pick up a pair of Korkers.

I bought 2 bags of chota boot screws for my simms and now feel like a F#$$%
mountain goat on jetties LOL [good] felt is ok for LIGHT slime[ie freshwater] b. breathable bootfoot rool. + just discovered that the suspenders have
