Last fall before a trip up to Pulaski for salmon I bought a pr. of Orvis Encounter waders. I fished 4 days up there and then maybe a half dozen times over the winter and early spring before they started to leak. As time went on they got worse and worse.
I called TCO where I bought them and asked about any kind of guarantee. I was told that since they were lower priced waders, I could bring them in and they would send them back to Orvis and they may repair them and it might cost up to $50, or I could try and seal them myself.
Well I didn't want to be without them at the beginning of the season so decided to try and seal em. Long story short, It only slowed down the leaks which eventually got worse and worse.
My question, is this typical for a guarantee, or lack of one on waders?
I won't be buying these again. Can anybody recommend a pr. of waders that won't break the bank?
Cabela's has their Osprey II waders on sale starting May 28th for $100
Anybody have them, and how have they held up?
