tf.... take this with a grain of salt, or a dram of scotch, your preference.

SIMMS

as a dealer who has sold well over a 2000 pairs of waders of different brands.... there is really only one wader that performs like a friggin' wader is supposed to perform.... for years.

save your money for a few weeks and purchase from your favorite shop....

The Simms Freestones used to sell for $149, I have seen them on sale for $99 before.

Take it from me, I actually bought a pair. The LL bean $59 "breathable waders" are no way near breathable. They are more like a glad bag with a draw string.

They might be ok this winter in the cool weather, but they are not a warm weather wader thus far.

I only bought them because of the price, and figured they would at least be a good back up wader. I will wear them a couple more times this year during cold weather.

If they don't performed, I will line my trash can with them and throw them out when they get full.
