Need advice about Breathable Stockingfoot Waders

[justplugit]

I''m happy with the $275? simms as they fit well, and have had no problem with them over the years. Orvis is a different story. Anything over $250 is going to give you good wear on the sand, so then it becomes the fit and warranty. Leaks happen, but simms are made in the US of A have a larger choice in sizes for bigger guys,and stand by their products.

The G3's may be overkill for beach use, unless you spend a lot of time on your knees praying for fish........or get into rocks from time to time.

I bought LL beans for under 200 and they are great. Boots will cost you another 80-90 but they are guarenteed for ever

I've just recently gone from bullet proof Gralite (15yrs.in rocks) to Simms G3...Feels like I'm fishing in my PJ's.. first pair of waders like this .. they feel whimpy ,, like made for stream fishing .. Time will tell.. I'm loaded so I don't care . $$$$$$$$

I bought a pair of Simms River Tek waders this year and couldn't be happier with them. Like Justplugit said, their size chart is great. I bought the XL king (size) and they fit like sweat pants. (nice and comfortable) My favorite part about them is the feet. (I have stockingfoot waders) Simms doesn't use a generic foot. They make them right and left.

These were 275. They also can be used as waist high waders by folding the top into the waistband. (designed that way)


MADE IN USA sold me too. "Spend it where you make it"

LL bean cause they stand by their product.

I use the LL Bean gortex wading pants. much easier than waders the boots are also gortex so you don't sweat as much wearing them. With size 14 feet that means alot.
