I wore out the soles on my thigh waders and always had a soggy left foot...and sometimes even right foot. I thought it was my pushing the depth limits of my Horne's waders, but now have to test for holes and weld away. To be fair, I do put them through hell but have no choice if I want to get to the places others won't necessarily want to go to....anything for a fish...and the Blackberry bushes don't help either!
If you wouldn't mind sending me(offline perhaps)the names of those brands which tended to leak, it would be great.

I had just received the first pair I bought before doing the show and had not tried them yet. What I should of done was get the Simms and returned the others. At the end of the show, the price was reduced from the wholesale price. I will never run into a deal like that again. About the pair I had at home. They leaked the fourth time I used them. Upgraded to the next best when I returned them and the new leaked within the first month. Upgraded again and the same thing. Got a replacement and the same thing. They not only leaked but the material all crinkled up.I have photos of each pair that I returned showing this. I finally got a refund less the shipping charges I paid to and from. I have two other fishing buddies that returned breathables from this company because of leaks. They went to Simms and are happy with them. If I have problems with this pair I am using now, I guess I will pop the cork and go to Simms. So far so good with the Bass Pro waders, I like the attached lace up boots.
