Need A Little Help Picking Out New Waders

[Danoinark]

I have Orvis Silver Labels. If I recall they are a couple of hundred dollars or more less expensive than the G-3's. I have had them for several years without any issues. The pair I had before were at least 5 years old and sprung a leak in the neoprene booties. I sent them back and they replaced them with a new pair. Their customer service and warranty on waders are superb.

I love my Sims G3's. Three years and going strong. Guide buddy and mentor Chuck Griess of Anglers & Archery at Tanneycomo is on the water year round abusing waders more than anyone I know. Chuck has always used Simms, but now Hodgeman has something he likes.

Call Chuck at the end of the day around 5 pm when he's off the water and ask him. Tell him Bruce sent ya. 417-335-4655

Chuck will give you an honest opinion, whether you buy from him or not.

Just my 2 bits...

( with a nice pair of Chota boots, can't beat those either).

I completely agree with you there as well. I love my Chotas, they're ridiculously comfortable! I'll never buy another pair of wading boots, ever.

I have the Chota Elk River Sock Foot Waders and Caney Fork Boots they have been great and $250.00 for the waders and $150.00 for the boots I can't scream about the cost.

Orvis is good, Simms are better. Get the G3s. Beyond that you're looking at diminishing returns. G3s are right in that wheelhouse of "price-to-quality-to-practicality-ratio" that we're all trying to hit.

Has anyone on here had any experience with the William Joseph Dry-namic waders? The write up on them sounds great, but I was wanting to hear about some real world experiences...thinking this might be my big Christmas gift this year

Thanks,
