orvis vs simms

I am in the market to buy some breathable waders, size XXLS, from either
Orivs or Simms in the $190 range. Anyone here use Orvis' silver label 2
model?

From my research I have concluded that Simms cannot be beat for quality,
but it seems that Orvis cant be beat for warranty?

I bought the Patagonia waders--for considerably more than that.
They are, however, guaranteed for life. If they leak (mine don't,
after three seasons) they will fix or replace.

I've had several pairs of cheaper "breathable" waders that didn't
make it through a single season. Now that's expensive.

Orvis, if you can trust their word, will repair any pair of waders for
life for $30. And they will replace the waders for 4 years.

I'm sure you can trust their word on that. The problem is the time it
takes to get them back. Even if they are quick it will be 10 days to 2
weeks. I just can't quit fishing that long.
