[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]Very good point. It goes without saying in my case, but others might not know that. I had to buy boots two sizes larger to fit over the generous neoprene bootie in my waders, so when buying boots, take your waders with you.[/size][/black][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]I am re evaluating my waders. Not to mention any names (and I am sure some of you know who made them). I have the top of the line, which I only wear in real bad weather or winter, otherwise I wear my hippers. I had to return my 2 yr old waders this year because they were ripping about 3/4" away from the seam (the weld) from the knee down to the neoprene bootie. They did send me a new pair, but I still feel this is a defect in their design. I understand that the new top of the lines for the year 2007 has address this issue and hopefully corrected it. So, I agree that you don't always get what you pay for. You have to go with Companies record. And I think it is good to return things like this so the Company does know what is going on and can correct[/size][/black][black][size 3] it[/size][/black][/font].
P/S. no one else mentioned them, but I am looking at the William-Joseph. The upper stretches. I am a guide so the waders is part of my tools, so I have to get comfort and quality.
