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 would have ordered a pair of simms if I could have found any in the rights
size: inseam (31) and shoe size (a real 12) always causes a problem. I ordered
the cabelas guide-weight breathables for that reason.

they're great in every aspect EXCEPT:

they developed a leak on the thigh seam and I'm bummed. Got to send them back
but this is still prime time in the salt surf for which they are still ok 90%
of the time.

As others have said, you will go through 5 pairs of anything (usually) vs. 1
pair of Simms. Of course, your mileage may vary.

This probably doesn't hold true for the Freestones
