    Waders?

    Looking for some recommendations for some new waders. Any advice? Probably spend $500 if I have to.

    Simms breathables. There’s a reason guides who put in 200 days a year on the river wear them.

    What are you going to be using them for?

    I've got set of patagonia and reddington pant style waders that I use 90% of the time.

    Fishing and a bit of water fowl but 85% of it is steelhead in winter.

    Had a set of wright and mcgill’s that lasted years, then a pair of the cheaper Simms that started leaking after a year.

    Hoping someone has the silver bullet of quality and price

    I just ordered a pair of LL Bean. Their top of the line waders and boots set me back US$375. I haven't picked them up from my mailbox in Blaine yet. I want to fish a lot more this year and wanted to upgrade from my boot foots.

    The promo code WINTER gives you 20% off.

    If you don't like LL BEan stuff you can always send it back. Their return policy is great.

    Have you contacted Simms? They fixed my leaky waders free of charge and they were probably 5-6 years old. So for 1 year old they will definitely repair.

    And like everyone else said, Simms. They have great fit, durability and they really are at the top of the wader game in the world. I own two pairs and would never buy any ohrr wader.

    I tried orvis and Bare and loop and something else I cant remeber and they were all crap compared to Simms

    I like my simms waders to way better then those old school neopreme waders.
    Nothing is like climbing a mountain, and then feeling like you are at the top of the world.

    I have a pair of Patagonia waders, cost more than most but still works great after many years of usage.

    For Waterfowl hunting I was thinking of using these waders, but decided to buy a pair of Camo Neoprenes from Cabelas instead.
