The simms seems to wear great. I personally have the flytech and wear them once or twice a week year round and they are starting to show some wear at the seams but are not leaking yet. My guide buddy loved his simms but got a pair of the cabela's and has had them for a year now and they have held up just as long as the simms. For the money my next pair with be a set a cabelas.
