Default Cabelas Dry Plus Premium vs Simms Freestone waders.

I have to disagree.

I doubt if the waders you have will last longer. Especially since I found a
belt'/strap in my van that I do not recognize. Perhaps it's yours? Better
check, if son then I will send it to you and maybe then, just maybe, your
waders will last longer.

I just ordered a pair of Cabelas Dry Plus Premium waders for $140. I'm
wondering if I should have gotten the Simms Freestone waders for $150?
My only concern is durability. Will the Simms Freestones last longer
than the Cabelas?


Yes, Simms will last longer.

Mark --especially, if you never wear them--

I thought that I had put my wader belt in my backpack, but I could be mistaken. I'll
check in the morn.

Thanks for notifying me, and thanks for comin' down to fish with me!

My experience with the Cabelas waders was good news/bad news. The good
news was they refunded my money promptly, and I ended up buying a pair
of Simms guide waders from them. The bad news was a serious design flaw
that developed leaks in them with very little use. What they did was to
glue a tape of the breathable material over the seams on the inside.
Where three seams came together they glued a circular patch of the same
material. Unfortunately the edges of the tapes and the patches showed
through on the outside like panties through tight lycra. The friction of
walking around in them wore holes at these edges along the inseams, and
I am not particularly big in the thighs. The first leaks appeared about
the fourth day I used them. I hung in with them for a couple of months
using lots of Aquaseal, but finally sent them back. I found myself
wondering whether they did any serious testing of them. The Simms waders
have been just fine.

If you read enough reviews about the Cabelas waders, you'll find people
are very happy with Cabelas, customer service. I decided to buy Simms.
