I went upper end with my ll beans!!! but with a lifetime warranty , who cares....It'll be the last pair of waders ill EVER buy

That's a good point. Their warranty is money. My dad hasn't bought a new watch in 40 years - just sends back the one he bought from them and they fix it or replace it.

My buddy just got rid of his high end orvis waders for a pair of Simms G4Z's. He hated the orvis waders. I can only imagine what Orvis' low end waders are like.

It's easy to just hand out waders when they're made in a sweatshop by little kids.

I have a friend who swears by the LL Bean warranty. I think he has sent back a pair of waders twice, and they came back either new or repaired. And quickly.

I sent a rod tip that broke back, and they sent me a new one...

Great company.

The avatar is pretty funny. I thought it was John Candy. I also thought it might be me tho.

Narcissism.

Liar liar pants on fire.

So, not that anyone cares, but both my waders and my boots have officially kicked the bucket. Actually, to be precise, both have kicked the bucket twice. I repaired the boots once and then they literally started falling apart in the river a couple of weeks back. And I patched the waders, but every seam is now springing a leak.

Thus ends my experiment with cheap ass Orvis gear. Just ordered a pair of Simms boots to go with my leaky waders, and there are some G3s in my not-so-distant future as well. I'll have to see how long I can tolerate the leaks. When the water warms up, it's less objectionable.

G3's are the shit, although if I were you, I'd just wear shorts, it'll help put the dick smoke out.
