I bought a pair of hodgemans and after a few months the seams not only leaked but the tape on the inside was pulling away from the inside of the waders.. Second pair same thing. I will never buy another hodgeman product ever. I bought a pair of simms and fished in them for 3 years. A bargain and 360 dollars as it would have takem me 6 pairs of hodgemans to fish thoes same 3 years. time for a new pair .. i'd only buy simms!
I would second the above comments buy the new inexpensive simms waders.. You get what you pay for and only very rarely do you ever get what you don't pay for.
