Hi Mike, thanks for the reply. Hodgman has a really good price, and a good quality. At least from my experience. !0 years ago (oh.. 11) I bought some wader (hip wader) from them, not breathable, but easy to carry, and easy on travel. Use them often, and have no failure so far. I like simms too, but their Wading Jackets are faar to expensive for my budget. I'm thinking now to buy some Jack Wolfskin stuff, my kids have some of them and are very satisfied, no ff jacquets, just plain vanilla hard shells. Rene
