Waded for many years now, always used neoprene waders. They seem to wear out a little faster than i would like. Any suggestions on some new waders, looked into simms seems to be more durable. Seen the neoprene scratch/ cut open too much from minor contact with a rock/barnicle/shell. Also use everlast wade boots with the rayguards, had them for 2 months and they look like they went through a war. Most of the seems are coming undone, plastic is slipping out and buckles are worn out too. I do wade alot (goal 4-5 times a week) and cover lots of area, need durability. Any suggestions help! Thank you all in advance.

Simms wading products is the way to go. I guide full time and it is the only product I use. a pair of G3 breathable waders are comfortable, lightweight, and very tough against abrasions. Yes they are expensive to get into, but what you have to keep in mind is they come with a lifetime warranty.

Get Simms breatheables on sale.

For the price Frogg Togg waders are hard to beat. Simms warranty is great but it better be for the price you pay!

if you've got an Orvis shop close, they make great waders and if you have issues they can address them in the store as opposed to mailing your Simms off to Montanna every time you have an issue.

X2. Love my Gulf Cost Waders. Customer service is excellent.

Yes, + 1 on these.
