Further down this boards list of topics is a thread on Waders...good and cheap? Posted by BobcatSteve? Anywhoo.....that thread has some more comments you can read on waders. I wouldn't part with my Simms but I don't have that fleece hand warmer pocket and I already wish I had that. These Simms are a gift from wife and the only pair I have ever had. So I am no knowledgable person about which is better than the other. I do indeed like my Simms though. Have heard many complaints about non breathable Cabelas fish at my local stream. Many complaints about starting out in them...sun comming out....they sweating inside and peeling them down.
