How old are your waders?

Post by spokey9 » Mon Jun 05, 2017 6:39 am

While i was cleaning and hanging my waders this morning, I got to thinking about how old my waders were. My wife bought them for me as an early Christmas present back in the beginning of December '10. They're Simms freestones and a year into owning them I had a seam start to leak and they swapped me out with a new pair. They've been keeping me dry since. I'm bad about hanging them or cleaning them most the time. Not to mention I bushwhack through some stuff I shouldn't in them and they've seen a lot of miles on the river lol. Who else got some old reliable waders that are still going strong?
Fishing relaxes me. It's like yoga, except i still get to kill something.

I got mine fall of 2009. Cabala's GII stocking foot. Treated 4 pinholes along the inner seam of the thighs two years ago with Aquaseal, but otherwise still working well. Just replaced my boots last Christmas (also Cabela's).

I've had no luck with boots lol. They seem to be a yearly thing for me.
