Besides the Simms guide wader, I never had another wader make it past 6 months of use without a leak! I have owned pair(s) of breathables from hodgman, cabelas, white river, orvis, patagonia, dan bailey, cloudveil and snobees. The Dan Bailey wader was the only one I would purchase again from that group as they were pretty good for the price (made it 2 years with minor patches before a seam failure). I had hassles trying to return items at Cabelas with a reciept more than once on Cabelas brand waders and boots.If you look into the Cabelas warranty it is 90 days with a reciept. Cabelas name brand is guarenteed against "manufacturers defect" for lifetime and the warranty does not cover wear and tear. This tells me I have 90 days for sure and depending on how the manager feels that day, may get me a pro- rated price on another item or nothing at all.
