I have been a Simms customer since they started making waders and have had excellent wear out of them . I’m not a high use guide days fisherman but do get out 100+ days a year. Just purchased these waders and can’t wait to try them . The reason I switched was I like what Patagonia is doing to help the environment and what’s happening at the company. The fit at least for me was perfect and the adjustability is great . Now to see how they hold up . Thanks for sharing
@@jrmydn I’ve put over 30 days on them this season and they have worked as advertised. Haven’t found anything I don’t like about them . I’d never had a pair of waders with the front zipper and really didn’t think it would be that big a deal , it’s a game changer. Not only from the stand point of being able to go pee when it’s raining and not have to take clothes off but from just the ease of putting them on and taking them off . My one concern was breathability I had read some forums that thought they didn’t breath as well as the Simms , I have not found that to be true . If your in the market of purchasing a new pair of waders I would definitely recommend you at least go try some on . In my mind the true test will be how are they doing at the end of the season . Go fish 🎣
@@cooshington5975 They work great put 114 days on them no issues and I’m not easy on equipment. I really like the zipper front and waterproof interior pocket . Going to get my wife a pair this year .
Any issues with durability? I’m about 6’0 230 lbs, and I just wanna make sure I’d be buying something that I’m not gonna bust the seams by overstretching on accident (stepping over fallen trees, coming up a bank, etc)
@@flyfisher64 I use the Patagonia and have had excellent success with its performance and durability but… Comparing the Simms G4Z Waders - Stockingfoot and the Patagoina Men's Swiftcurrent Expedition Zip-Front Waders is like comparing stock cars. Although I don’t think the Simms is worth the Extra $, they are both at the TOP of their respective brands. Can’t go wrong with either.
Bought my Pair from Farlows 3 years ago , Great Waders by far thou heard yesterday 4/5/2024 from Farlow Returns that Patagonia don't repair waders ,??? What ?? - after advising me in the first place to send them back via their returns for repair by Patagonia. Having spent North of £700 quid, and waiting 3 weeks only to be told that Patagonia dont have a UK repair sorry is this my problem , I do hope someone from Patagonia can help me here as i feel totally let down by these two UK retailers with their communications, despite having spent on a pair of temp waders to keep me going while i wait.
hey guys I been looking into these waders lately and just wondering if I were to buy these waders with foot that is size 8, would I also buy a size 8 or size up to a size 9 to fit the river salt danner boots?
Hello, good question! We recommend buying the 9 boot for the size 8 footed wader. If you have any other questions feel free to give us a call at (877) 443-1951 and ask for Jordan or Andrew. Hope this helps!
Hi Steezy! It is a pricey wader, but a lifetime warranty is priceless. Patagonia ethically produces everything so you are getting a top of the line product with very minimal harm to the planet. Plus, they build things so you don't have to replace them. It is built in 5 layers, completely seam sealed and stitched for durability. If you have any problem with the product, you can send it in to Patagonia and they will repair or replace it for free, all you have to cover is shipping. Thank you for watching our video, enjoy fishing!!!
@@Simonfnp Hi Simon thanks for watching our video! The warranty covers manufacturers' defects (seams, zippers, stitched on anything). Wear and tear such as holes put in while sliding down rocks and going thru the briar are not covered. HOWEVER, for a nominal charge, they will fully repair wear and tear issues. We hope this helps!

Great review! Just placed my order!
Awesome, great choice! Thanks for watching!
I hit all the checkmarks for a SSS except for the boot size, do you think if i'm a size 9 i could make this work or should i size up?
Also looking into sizing and was curious what cameron's chest girth measurement is
Own Them! Best waders ever!
Agreed, the quality is amazing on these!
Interested in these , would you say they are better than Simms ?

Are the foot ( sock) waterproof? Thanks
Hi, yes the bottoms of this wader are waterproof!

I really want some waders but I don’t understand why they’re so much money. I get it, but damn ☠️ I’ve bought vehicles for $700... 👀

Good Sports Outdoor Outfitters thanks for the vid, does the warranty cover, if the fabric is ripped by a stone or what not ?
Steezy: you looking at the Mercedes s class of waders.
