Cabelas Dry Plus Premium vs Simms Freestone waders.

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--

The reason I'm asking is I'm thinking about sending them back without
opening the package.

Can't speak for the simms but I've had a pair of the Dry Plus GII's
since June and have had no problems with moderate fishing...say 30
trips

I have a pair of Simms--can't recall if they are the Free Stones or a grade up--but
they have functioned well and without leaks for three years now.

I don't buy from Cabela's anymore.

I've had nothing but good interactions with Cabela's. As for waders, I've
been reasonably happy with the Gold Medal dry plus. I paid about $160 for
them, which is probably about the size of the retailer's markup on the
Simms Classic Guide.

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.
