Cool link John. Makes me excited to try out the G3's I picked up for $100 a couple weeks ago...

So true. My Dan Bailey's leak just as good as my Hodgman. I'm interested to hear from people how the USIA waders hold up over the next year (people haven't been wearing them long enough to get a good read yet). I don't need breathable waders most of the time anyway. However, I've been fishing with cold wet feet this season no matter how much ShoeGoo or AquaSeal I plaster on and it's time to get some new ones. I think I'll be shopping the warranties more than the features. If a $500 pair of waders gets me lifetime repairs or replacements, then it's time to start saving some dough.

The USIA look like a quality product, but they're not breathable at all. If you hike around much you'll be wet!
I am currently rocking Simms waders with a set of caddis **** zipper models for a back-up pair.. the simms leak, they are 4 months old, but I like the Patagonia and Simms waders because they may leak but catastophic failure is less likely.. and I have expirenced catastropic failure while in the field and it sucks. now what im about to say is serious, Im not being a smart ass... I do not attempt to stay totally dry and comfortable while fishing.. I simply wish to be functional.. maintaining a core temp that will not land me in the hostpital. When I head afield it is my hope, intent, desire and total goal to hook something that is doing absolutely no harm to anyone in the face, drag it around, lift it out of the water probably fecking up its slime.. practicaly sufficating it and releasing it or even worse clubbing the holy hell out of it to death... the least I can do.. the most respectful and honorable thing I can do... is suffer just a little bit with it, otherwise this game.... just isn't fair-So then what do you use the majority of your time in the water? :think:
