I was very skepticl especially at the $425.00 price tag but now that I own them I would never go back! Wearing these things is a treat  I can see now that with a little common sense these things will last, I rinse them at least once a week but, Simms told me I dont have to do that. The gore tex is extremely tough and the best thing is these waders really do breath! I know its alot of cake for a pair of waders but these are worth the money very well built durable product. So this is my best new fishing related purchase by far yet...  |
I think testing them for only a month tells you nothing of their durability, for that $, I'd like to hear the report after at least a couple years of use. I like my LL Beans, gone all season without an issue at a fraction of that $. Besides, if there was an issue, they'll send me a new pair. Seems kinda senseless to spend that kind of cash on waders when you can get Beans which are just as good at alot less scratch. JMHO>>> |

CAll and talk to one of the service reps at simms, i was very impressed after speaking to her yesterday about the warranty, and repair costs. Ive burned through 3 pairs of beans , breathables and neoprenes, last pair didnt even make it 1 1/2 months. ALso simms are American Made, not some shoddy import where some guy putting them together is getting $24 .. a month.

Your wrong because now I have almost 7 monthes on the simms G3 and they are as good as the day they were baught, beans just dont last. So hopefully this answers the durabilty question, I fish as hard or harder than most and its all around rocks, I dont baby these waders and they are like Iron !! |

I stated my opinion on the experience I have with my Beans, I fish HARD, and I mean Very Hard and they have held up very well. I'm into my 2nd season on the ones I have and am very happy. BTW, I fish 5-7 nights a week 90% of the time on the rocks.
