Today i've bought a pair of Simms Lightweight Stockingfoots. They seem as
being made of good quality goods. But today I also read, in an advert for
the same waders, that the Simms Lightweight Stockingfoots were the lightest
goretex waders on the market blabla bla, and "were best suitable for
fishermen/women who only fish a week or two a year" ?!?!?! Has anyone used
these waders, and should I return them, and buy another model? Maybe from a
different vendor even?

The waders cost 3000 danish kroner here in Denmark, that's more than 400$ US
dollars. At that price, I'd expect something different(more), than "one or
two weeks a year".

I think you can relax, Thomas. I have a pair of Lightweights that I
fished hard for 2 years (200+ days per year) without a single leak or
other problem. I fish only 10-20 days a year now (just on vacations),
but the waders are still going strong. At $200, they have been
excellent value. I believe the "week or two a year" bit is Simms'
little ploy to get everyone but the most casual fisherman to spring for
the Guide or G3 models. And in Denmark, those must cost about the same
as a cabin in the woods.....
