I think of waders like I do fly lines. It’s not my last fly line or set of waders, just my next one. I want to buy a quality pair, Simms, Patagonia, Cloudveil but I want to find them on sale. I don’t care if they were last year’s model or not. I bought three sets of Patagonia Watermasters this year. Not the Watermaster light version either. The ones that retailed for $335. I paid between $105 and $110 for each set. All three came off of Ebay and all three still had the $335 price tag on them. Besides Ebay, places like Sierra Trading post and one of my favorites these days is Madison River. I think that Mad R has some nice Cloudveils on sale now. I want a high end product and I love paying less than half retail. Sometimes it not if I can afford it or not. The purchasing game is an adventure for me. I love to make great buys almost as much as I like to chase fish and if I can make great buys on fishing equipment all the better.

Not sure if I would say a Chinese product is “high end”?
Nor am I really sure what Cloudveil’s future is? You can buy Cloudveil products from the old company for about $120 to $160 for Gore Tex Chinese made waders, probably from various sources. Not sure if they have much of a warranty tho? Check outhttp://www.levelninesports.com/Cloudveil-Fishing-Apparel

I’ am pretty sure I’l stick with the Cablea’s offer with the Anura waders and the Tekk Toad jacket. A free jkt is just too mucho to resist. However I’ll make sure to ask Cabela’s and even Frogg Toggs about their warranty policy prior to buying.
Has anyone had any experience with Frogg Toggs warranty service?
Thx again guys!!!
Dave.
Those are kind of expensive??? Around $170? What is the warranty? They are not made of gore tex right?
