Built in gravel guards.

second pair had the detachable ones, with velcro at the back, but I lost
one of them while wading in moving water.



guards with velcro must have a lot of the stuff .... moving water will pull
them off, moving water AND weed beds will pull them off quickly

the CURRENT model from SIMMS seems to work fine ( after one full season of
using them ) but their older model with just two strips of velcro sucked, as
do some other brands I've seen .... look for velcro the entire length of the
guard, top to bottom, and damn strong, sticky velcro, at that

.....um ....... I must have some snow gaiters around someplace .... I wonder
where they would be

I just bought a pair of Cabelas Dry Plus waders. I returned them
after
trying them on. I didn't like the built in gravel guards. The elastic
was so tight is made them hard to put on. Are all built in gravel
guards like that? Does everyone prefer built in gravel guards? I'm
thinking about ordering a pair of Simms Freestones instead and using
detachable gravel guards.
