I can't understand spending more than $100 on waders.

Usual disclaimer, no stock in LLBean etc etc

Bean is another perfectly fine option, and I agree with you on the wader
thing. I'm sure Simms makes a fine product, but I'm entirely too cheap to
see paying for them, at the prices they ask. The only brand I would avoid at
this point is Bailey's, as I must know 4 or 5 people who have had Dan
Bailey's waders go to crap on them.

Have heard the same thing about Bailey's *and* Orivis and Patagonia.
My Patagonias kept failing in the suspenders soon after I bought them,
and in the booties within a year.

Simms are expensive, no doubt, but they are the only wader I have had
that have NOT failed me, and to be in them for more than five years is
astounding to me.
