They are not made in the USA - enough said.

I know Simms waders are made in the USA, and maybe Patagonia waders, but that's about it.

I use LL's myself, have been though 3 pairs of West branches in the last 2 years though. I'm in them pretty much every day and don't rinse them. Like Bob said you just can't beat their warranty. Only thing they changed since my first pair is that they got rid of the rubber boot and went w/ a lace up integrated boot, I wish they had just left the boots alone.

Beer is the reason we get up each afternoon.

My last pair I got two solid seasons out of and they are still OK, I plan to make them my backup pair this year. They were Hodgeman guide series bootfoot. Very comfortable heavy breathable material and good around the ankle for a boot foot.
I need a new pair this spring. I have heard so many good things about Simms I am going to give them a go. Where is a good place to get them?

I need a boot foot heavy duty breathable. I cant take the sand in the stocking foot even though they are better to walk around in.

thanks
