Well, I decided to bite the bullet. I took my measurements and was about to contact my local simms dealer when I did a search and there was a fellow on the west coast exactly my size who bought a pair of G3's with the muck boot to go steelhead fishing and will not be able to use them due to some health issue. He bought them this past spring. Still new in the box with tags never really worn. (he said he tried them on in the house when they arrived for fit) I was leery but contacted him and he was willing to sell them for about half of what they retail for. I took the bait. Well I got them the other day and they are a sweet, these are brand new in perfect condition. I was having a hard coughing up close to 6 bills for custom waders that I know I will destroy in a season but the good Lord must have felt my angst and pointed me to a low cost solution. (It must be my clean livin'

)
