I bought a pair of these overpriced waders 2 years ago. as much as I love them, I spent way to much for them. I now have a leak in the a_ _ area and it looks like a seam problem. The patch kit that come with the waders said that the kit would not work on seams and to contact Sims. Is this something covered under a warranty? I figured I was probably screwed, in that it's been two years. If I remember correctly they had a lifetime guarantee?

Anyone have these?

I've had my Guideweights for a little over 2 years now. No problems yet, and I give them a good workout. Yes, I believe the lifetime warranty still applies. Try calling Ted's in Lynnwood. They could answer your questions I bet.

They will fix the leak at either no charge or a small cost. If it is a small leak it should cost you no more then $10-$15.

Simms make awesome waders but there warranty service is second rate. Its too bad.

great, thanks for the advice. too bad I didnt send them in while I was waiting in Montana for my steelhead trip in January, I could have had them fixed by now.

They are great waders, just exspensive!

Thanks,
Steelyaddict

Next time I would suggest taking a hard look at the Dan Bailey's brand of breathables. Half the cost and a much better warranty.
