Dan Baileaks?

As for the butt, they might be good, but they aren't magic Keith smile

Simms finally got smart and moved the seams from the inside/outside of the legs, to the front/back of the legs. My current pair of g3's is the longest lasting pair of waders I have ever owned, got almost a full season out of them before they started leaking!

Far as I know, Redington is the first to start using sonic welding technology for waders. It has been around for a few years in other garments and lines (arcteryx, patagonia, etc). For the most part it seems to be pretty solid. I have had a few issues with delamination over time + extended use in a few my pieces that have welded seams. I will be curious to know how well the Redington's hold up when subject to the abuse that most pairs of waders suffer.
