The newest Aquaskinz have updated seams that only have tape on the outside, I'd bet a lot of money they will have a much longer lifespan. Time will tell...

Just send it back to Montana and they'll replace it, it shouldn't be a problem. Very easy company to deal with. |

Looks like a new pair of simms waders and a dry top for me next season.

Regardless of what kind of fabric including neoprene if you get it wet and then throw it in the back of the truck and just let it sit there in a pile staying damp and you do it regularly its gonna fail.
Rinse it with fresh,bring it inside and hang it.

I rinsed mine in the shower after every use and hung on a coat hanger and the gaskets still failed.

I didn't mean to imply that would've kept them from failing I was speaking in general.
For the price you paid for them you should be able to stuff'em soaking wet into
duffel bag for a month.

I got one of the first Hurricanes when it came out. This is the end of my THIRD fall with it and I've probably worn it 150 times at least. I have ridden it hard and put it away (in the back of my truck) wet. It doesnt leak, I have been submerged with it and hammered by waves. I might touch up a couple places with sealant this winter to be proactive but it does not leak.I say beyond a shadow of a doubt how much I like my Skinz Hurricane. Has nothing to do with them being a sponsor. I enjoy it that much.
Evo II ? I've had one since summer that I've work a half dozen to dozen times. I like it, comfortable and all and hope I enjoy it as much as the hurricane...
I have heard a lot of good about the Sims equipment but have not used it yet....
