Best value in waders?
Does anyone have a recommendation for waders?
I'm fishing Northwest rivers and occasionally dipping into the salt water of Puget Sound. I will probably do some float tubing as well. I'm looking for a durable-comfort-price compromise. Thanks! Mo |

Best value in waders?
Hello All U ROFFers and Mo too,
Any Simms breathable wader depending on your budget: Freestone $149 - QuadraLam breathable membrane Lightweights $199 - Gore-Tex breathable membrane Classic Guide $329 - Gore-Tex with tougher skin and better fit. G3 - $429 - 20% more breathable Gore-Tex membrane and more cool features. All are made in the USA (Bozeman, MT) and pressure tested at the factory. Most all other waders are made overseas with unbelievable profit to the importers so they can warranty a high percentage of them. I think that Simms timed everything pretty well because the general fishing public got tired of the high failure rate of the imported breathable waders. Simms can barely keep their dealers in product even in this economy. -- Bill Kiene Kiene's Fly Shop Sacramento, CA www.kiene.com "Mondo Kongswat" wrote in message ...

I understand that Simms make a good product but you may want to have a
look at " Wardell". They are Canadian made and that means you are paying in Canuck dollars. Bought a pair last year and really liked them,, Wished that I had bought a pair sooner. Just my Two cents worth. jim (Mondo Kongswat) wrote in message ... Does anyone have a recommendation for waders?
