MA Summary:
Light, comfortable, and worked great for almost a year when one sock started to leak. Returned to Orvis for 100% refund. Orvis offered and additional 20% to buy another pair from Orvis, so I took them up on the offer and upgraded to the no-sweat highback waders. These also worked great for 1 1/2 years before they started to seep water at both thighs. Strengths:
Comfort Weaknesses:
Leak Customer Service:
Very Good Similar Products Used:
Orvis High-back No Sweat

at Orvis Body of Water:
Pere Marquette, Michigan Favorite City:
Scottville Favorite State:
MI Summary:
Hard to beat for the price. Wide comfort range, from balmy summer days to chilly fall steelhead mornings. Strengths:
Lightweight, breathable, customer service is top notch. Weaknesses:
Sizing. I am 6'2" w/ 36" inseam and 145 lbs., had to get large-tall and still are not long enough.?xD;?xA;Even with this size, I have way too much extra material hanging off them. The gravel guards are kind of cheesy, they don't really do much. Customer Service:
Excelent Similar Products Used:
Other Orvis and Cabelas waders.

at Orvis Co. Store Body of Water:
Rio Grande Favorite State:
Colorado Summary:
I would definately recommend these waders to friends. I think they are high quality, and come with a great warranty, that I hopefully will never need. I do wish they would offer different size stockings, but really can't fault Orvis for not doing so. Strengths:
Lightweight. Cool in the heat. Totally waterproof. Weaknesses:
I bought the stockingfoots because I have longer inseam, and none of the bootfoots were long enough. My only complaint is that the neoprene stockings are a little too short for my size 10-1/2 feet. They tended to scrunch up my long toes. Not too much of a problem, but I wish Orvis would offer "size range" stockingfoots. Customer Service:
Not needed so far, although the service I recieved at the store was very good. Similar Products Used:
None

, from U.S.A. Summary:
Maybe not the most costly or prestigious brand of waders that one can wear on the stream, but a fine pair of waders none the less. They throw in the frills (gravel guards, wader belt, repair kit) that more costly waders make you buy separately. Strengths:
They breathe and are comfortable. Many design tweaks over the years. A warranty that rocks! Weaknesses:
Always compared to the far more expensive Simms instead of the more comparable and tougher Orvis Guide weight waders. Customer Service:
You know! Knowing that if a leak occurs I won't be at the mercy of a manufacturer who makes me send them back to the factory for repair and then charges me for the repair is worth a lot. Similar Products Used:
Swim suits, neoprene's.
