Every wader (brand) that I've ever owned has eventually leaked. Whether it was near the booty or in the crotch...I've been unlucky I guess....

In my opinion, there is no KING of waders out there. Aside from the price, the most important thing is customer service. As long as you own 2 pairs of waders in which both have a "NO QUESTIONS ASKED" - return policy, you're all set. Orvis asks a question or two but they will exchange them. LLBean doesn't ask me anything.

When one pair is damaged, I have the 2nd one as back-up until the new one arrives...and so-on. I won't be spending goo-goo dollars on waders anymore. Strictly LLBean. The price is usually decent, and like I said...they ALL leak eventually. It's the return policy that's important to me.

Not sure where I'm going with this...but in case someones' looking for a set of Orvis Waders, they're on clearance right now.

Keep in mind, eastendlu doesn't like them.

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

LOL Not that i don't like them but i had orvis silver label and had a bad experience that went on for 3 years.Yes thats how long i went back and forth with them.They sprung a leak a week after a bought them and the guy at the rvis store were i got them would not honor the warrantee said it was my fault it leaked.Called orvis and sent them in and they did the right thing and sent me a new pair.Used them once and the boots started unglueing and peeling off.And once again back and forth and so on.After all was said and done orvis did the right thing and sent me back a check for what i originally paid for them.I bought a pair from a member here cabelas cheaper and defenitely better quality and better price.My .02

funny thing about orvis waders.

wear a pair out, send 'em back in, sometimes you get a brand new replacement.

i wonder if this stops anyone from hocking them online (they ARE new waders after all).

lol.

I have had 3 pairs of the silver label 2 waders and they have performed about as well as I could expect given that I live in them! If a pair last me 1 hard fished season, I have gotten my monies worth! I actually need to order a new pair right now and some boots too as I put a hook through the ones I have had for a year and a half! I will patch them and use them for backup, but with the fall run coming I can't afford to be without a good pair of waders! Thanks for the heads up!!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!
