Forgot to add that the April issue of Fly Rod & Reel has this to say
about the Simms G3s:

".......This is top-of-the-line stuff - possible the best waders that
have been made to date -for anglers whose gear sees unremitting use
you know, Richard, 400 days in 4 years! and who'd rather pay top
dollar once than buy new waders every year or two."

Buy new waders every year or two? Sounds familiar. Could be because
they have been patched so many times that a new pair is necessary, or
the person is tired of getting wet and cold. Yeah, I can understand
that.

Gee, that do sound like one of dem dare endorsement thingies.
