Hello,

Sometime before next April, I intend to buy a new pair of lightweight waders
as a backup spare for my "guide weight" gamer. Of the ones currently on the
market, my choice would be the Simms Freestone. I have looked at the
Freestone in a shop; they are not as lightweight and packable as say, the
Orvis Clearwater but the Clearwater fit is just terrible.

My question is this; does anyone know at this time if any new products are
coming for 2004 from Simms (or any other top quality manufacturer), which
will be a competitive alternative to the Simms Freestone? I would prefer an
even lighter wader if one were to become available.

Thanks for any information.

why the hell would you prefer an inferior product to save a few
bucks? do you like getting wet?

no new waders from simms in 2004.... why? well, it's probably
gonna take the competition 5 years to catch up.
