I bought a pair of Patagonia waders in 2001 before a trip to Alaska. They worked great on that trip and for the next six years. They developed a leak in the ankle of one leg, so I took them to the Denver Patagonia store to ask about getting them repaired. They didn't repair them, they replaced them. I am still using the pair they gave me with no problems. I use the waders about 20 days each year.
