Well I decided on the Orvis Silver Sonic Convertibles. Anything more than a hundred dollar pair of waders would have been an upgrade but again I liked the features and lighter weight fabric. This is the first pair of "real" waders Ive owned so I'm so excited to try them out tomorrow. They fit very well and surprisingly the booties fit well. If I went by their sizing chart I would have fell into the XL as I'm 5'11" 208lbs with a size 10 shoe and 31" inseam. I tried the XL on and wayyyyy too big! I ended up in a size large and everything fit very well. I also ended up with a very nice Orvis wading jacket and a pair of Simms boots, they even studded them for free!
