I'm in the market for a wading jacket as well. I narrowed it down to the Simms G3, no question. 18 years ago I decided to buy a 10x wading jacket instead of spending the next $50 and buying the Simms Classic. Although the 10x is a nice jacket, it leaked after 1 season of use. A decision I regret every time I put my jacket on in wet weather.

Use Microsofts www.live.com search to find "simms g3 jacket", follow the ebay "live cashback link", follow the rules, and use "buy it now" with PayPal. You'll spend the $399 now and get $100 back from Microsoft through PayPal down the road a little. Using this method the G3 will ultimately cost you $300, no tax, no shipping - if you pick the right vendor - and its now in your price league.
