I also am a big fan of the Simms guide waders. I've had mone for five years and have had no trouble with leaks or anything else.

If you're still considering the Patagucci SST's, check out [url=http://www.sierratradingpost.com.:b1f68]www.sierratradingpost.com.[/url:b1f68] They often will have those at deep discount. I have ordered many items from STP and have encountered no problems to date. I haven't heard anything negative about those wader's, except for the fact that they are not gore-tex.
