My last pair were orvis silverlabels. They lasted about 7-8 years about 100 days of use per year. My new pair are Simms. They are2 years old and going strong. I've had hodgeman years agoand the didn't last, and got a pair of rivendells breathable pants this summer on a good deal They leak all over the seams worn about 5 times and they don't even compete. The simms are expensive but in my opinion they are well worth it. It would have to take alot of talking and a amazing pair of another brand to get me to switch.
