[VFB] Re:Waders Price and Comparison - was wader repair

[Jimmy D. Moore]

I have a pait of  Tidewater breathable "chest waders", stocking foot, 
that I bought at G.I. Joes in Eugene, OR 6 years ago. I've used them on 
the McKenzie, Willamette, the Guadalupe, Lampasas, Brazos, and Bosque 
Rivers in Texas and the Cimarron and Rayado in New Mexico.  Lots of 
briars, and brush on the Cimarron and Rayado to put up with.  They 
haven't leaked yet!  I paid $119.00 for them.  I really don't know who 
makes the TIDEWATER, nor do I care as long as they continue to perform. 
They might even be Hodgemans ;-)    When I wear these out, I'll just 
have my B-I-L go down to G.I. Joes and get me anothre pair.

This topic seems to have resonated a little bit, Since many of us are
constantly looking for the best waders, what do folks here like?  Is a
$300 pair of SIMMS waders worth the money.
