Cons: A big one, the knee patch's have a slit on the front that allows
water to fill up the whole patch. VERY VERY annoying. I hope Orvis
fixes this "design".

I've been using Silver Labels for a few years now. I noticed those openings,
but I don't ever recall any measurable amount of water holding behind the
patches once I've hauled out of the stream.

In fact I believe they are there
specifically to avoid water being retained behind the patches - and that
still
seems to have been a good design decision to me.


Yup, the slit is there to allow the water to drain. Haven't had a problem with
mine.
