I'm going to check out the Orvis waders, looking at the Silver Label felt-bootfoot style. I've been using one of thier top of the line breathable fishing/raincoats for the last 2 years on the OP and 1 trip to Alaska and love it. I had a problem with coat #1 as one of the draw-strings for the hood ripped-out as I was cinching it down during a downpour, took it back to the Bellevue store and the man said "sorry it broke, let me help you pick out a new one." I had the receipt in my wallet, did'nt need to pull it out . Was on my way in 5 minutes, customer service don't get any better than that.....C/22
