jq,

I have the Cabelas Dry Plus. They have treated me well for a year and a half. I do wish I had spent the extra money and bought the Simms Guide Weights. A couple buddies have them and they are bullet proof. If price is an issue, go Cabelas, if not, go Simms.

As far as repair, be careful what you apply to them. They are made with tempermental materials that can be harmed. Mine recommend only patching them with a kit made for them. I do believe there is more to this than just marketing of the kits.

Post your question at www.flyshop.com on the BB. There are some very knowledgeable people there and they are usually pretty good about helping with issues like this (there are alot of knowledgeable folks here to but it seems like most fisherman in the NW use neoprene).
