Can't give you any info on the Silver Label II's--but I *destroyed* the
original Silver Labels in four years. I then went to the Simms Guides (out
of the $200 range, certainly) and 3 years later they have developed *not
one* leak. I'm, frankly, amazed.

This is NOT an "Orvis bash"--because I like most of the Orvis products I
own--but the waders just don't hold up. IMO. Simms has a "Ligtweight" (or
some such name) in the $200 range--get them over the Orvis.

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?
