My son worked all summer on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska just from the Kenai River and short hop from the Russian River.
He went fishing everyday using a pair of Simms freestone stockingfoot waders and never had a single problem.
All the guides he talked to indicated that the simms waders would definitely get you through the summer without any problems and still be in great shape.
Other brands would need to replaced before the summer was over or shortly afterwards.

I purchased one on Amazon a few weeks ago and it worked pretty good. Inexpensive, fits great, no leak and kept me warm in cold water.

Simms for wear and warranty.
-30 day repair no questions asked
-If you need a repair in first year, 1st one is on simms
-afterwards $40 - ^65 for repairs
My son fished trophy trout and salmon streams almost everyday in Alaska all summer. Before he went he talked to several guides in area about what they suggested. Unanimous, answer was simms, there might be some others that could make it through he season, but would need replacing not long afterwards. The simms would not be phased. At end of summer his waders were good as new and these were the entry level freestone model.
The freestone stockingfoot is being phased out by simms so you can get a high quality wader at significant discount. Do a little searching online.
Except when being phased out they usually do not go on sale and they are expensive, but quality usually is.

YES! I am a Simms fan and get deals from Simms. However, it seems to me that all waders leak sooner-or-later. So, get your Simms and get some Aquaseal. As a mater of fact, get Aquaseal, and then get your waders. From the seams where the gravel guards / booties connect to the upper waders -- and down - go ahead and appy Aquaseal. It's just the way it is.

Simms. Number one. I sent some four year old waders back to them when I tore them on the Conejos barbed wire fence. Repaired and no charge. Theyre crazy good
