Patagonia waders are definitely more comfortable
I know, I know, we're talking about Patagonia Jackets vs Simms.
But I can't resist expressing my preference for the Patagonia waders!
I own both Simms Guide waders and Patagonia. Used the Simms for years thinking they were the best, but once I tried the Patagonia, I've never worn the Simms since.
Yes, GoreTex is supposed to be more breathable, technically.
But somehow Patagonia just knows how to make their stuff
more comfortable, dryer, and lighter.
And yes, technically the Patagonia stuff is not deet proff, but you'd need a LOT of deet to melt through ....
Patagonia just made more minor adjustment to their waders this year, and it's even better.
No, I'm not affiliated with Patagonia in any way.
