Waders- your favorite?

[cow tamer]

Got a letter from LLBean stating that the entire lot of west branch waders were suspect and offered to return my money or get a lesser replacement type. They do not expect to get direct replacements for the west branch. This is too bad as it had an integral lace-up boot that was lightweight and you didn't have to worry about sand build-up like you do with most stocking foots.

Cheap ones that you can easily get replaced when you send them back.

I have the older Simms guide Gore-Tex. Heavier duty than the newer style. Felt soles, but like them a lot. But after the customer service I got from Simms on a $200 Gore-Tex jacket, I'll never give them another penny of my money. I've spent a lot of money on Simms products over the years, but their customer service is lacking for the price you pay.
