I have owned 4 pairs of these waders. Other than leaking booties, the first couple of pairs I owned held up well. They were made of a nice fabric. Not too thin, seams did not leak at all but the feet did, sometimes right out of the box, other times a few uses in. I returned the first three pair for new Flyweights. Recently, I tore up my latest pair of flyweights on sticker bushes and decided not to use the Bean guarantee when the damage was my fault, so I made the trip to Bean's to buy new waders. I noticed the new Flyweights seemed to be made of a thinner fabric, which concerned me. Instead, I took the plunge on Bean's Rapid River waders ($299) which I thought were great except for side mounted belt loops (don't have a clue why they'd be on the sides).
I think the Flyweight leaky feet may have been due to not buying my boots a size bigger, but the feet in the Rapid River's do not leak - probably because of their thicker, more durable seam tape. HOWEVER, they have just started to leak in a more, uh, sensitive area. It's fine in the summer, but once winter is here, it ain't gonna be fun, so they are going back!
My last pair of Flyweights is now used as overalls for dirty jobs, like deer hide tanning.
