Hard to believe I wore neoprene for years. I never will again! This is one of the best gifts I've ever recieved. These wagers make walking in the river enjoyable and never too hot. Strengths:
Roominess, structural quality. Weaknesses:
None that I can easily see. Customer Service:
Always great at the local dealer. I've not needed service on the waders. Similar Products Used:

Jackson River Favorite State:
Virginia Summary:
These waders rate very high with me after 4 years of extensive usage. I have the bootfoot and over this time I have never had the hint of a leak. Strengths:
The waders are still very comfortable after heavy use. Our waters in Va have been low and the knee pads on this product make stalking more bearable. Lightweight and still they feel like a good pair of slacks after all this use. Extremely happy with investment in them. Price is Right, proven value. Weaknesses:
Suspenders could stand just a little tweaking, durability factor far outweighs any small weakness. Customer Service:
Never a problem at Orvis, quick to respond and replace. Similar Products Used:

Missouri and Arkansas Summary:
What can I say..Extremely happy with product. When I talk to a representative about the wimpy suspenders, they told me to send them back. Not only did they take care of the suspenders, but they also gave me a new pair of waders. If you are still in neoprene, it is your lose.
Lightweight and extremely comfortable, and very well priced. Strengths:
Love the belt design, I never have to search for my belt in my gear bag. Also you can roll down top and now you have a pair of pant waders, very lightweight, and I have given them many an opportunity for tears and holes to develop. They are extremely durable. Great gravel guards, perfect fit, with no sag. Great knee padding. Weaknesses:
Suspenders seem a little wimpy, but that is OK, because I use them more as pant waders. Customer Service:
Most excellent....For people who complain about these waders, you can get your money back. You will not find another company who backs there product like Orvis!! Similar Products Used:
Redball, Simms

Patagonia, Argentina Summary:
I bought this wader only one month ago, I don´t know how resistant they may be. I hope to catch a lot of good trout time before to buy another. Strengths:
Confortable and lightweight, nice belt sistem. The included gravel guards are great. The neoprene foot fits perfectly. Weaknesses:
I don´t like the pads, that part of the body can breathe throught the neoprene. Customer Service:
The wader was not in stock, even in an Orvis Store, I waited for one week. Similar Products Used:

CO Favorite Country:
USA Summary:
If your trying to decide to make the jump from neoprene to breathables, JUST DO IT! I am very rough on products and can't say enough about these waders! Strengths:
Comfort: like wearing a comfortable pair of polartec pants to the river. Blows away neoprene!
Built in belt: easy to use stays put!
Built in gravel guards: much like a pair of old Hodgeman neoprenes I had, a great feature!
Price: I was not going to pay full price for a pair of breathables, the auction gave me a good opportunity. Now having bought them, I would pay full price if need be!
Weaknesses:
I wish that Orvis offered a pair of breathable waders just as pants. The added top portion can be rolled down but for my purposes is unnecessary.
Customer Service:
Have not had to use them yet, but the waders were complete with warranty registration and great service from the individual I purchased them from. Similar Products Used:
Hodgeman neoprenes, Hodgeman breathables (borrowed), and SIMMS neoprenes
