5/5

These are the best waders I have ever bought. After tossing up between the new G4z’s and these and after careful comparisons of everything relevant, I changed to Patagonias for the first time in 30yrs. Embarrassed to say I don’t know why it took so long. EVERYthing about them is better. The design is sooo much better, overall and especially in the details. Simms feel cheep and full of shortcuts by comparison. Materials better, with consideration for high wear areas, waterproof pocket std, comfortable shldr straps, better (slimmer) fit for kiwis, quality gaiters, quality belt with stretch, *much easier to get on & off once you get the hang of them. And the same breathability as gortex but not high license fees incorporated in the retail price. And the materials over all just *feel harder wearing. Looking forward to seeing how they go. Am sure I won’t be disappointed Seriously, if you’ve been loyal to the other brand and you aren’t a dentist, (or even if you are) take a good look at these
