Thanks Pete.
I bought a pair of Bison breathables last year. Great for the money.

The "Pitsford Pirate" of waders. Even expensive breathables only last a season or two, so If I get 2 out of those Bison I'll be more than happy.

I think a few of us on here have them, as there was a thread about them last year! Iv had mine for 3years and touch wood they are still leak free even with some harsh usage. not a big badge brand but very good value.

No you are correct BT, but if and when they leak, Orvis will replace them, usually no questions asked.
And they will leak, like all breathables do, it's just such an easy thing to get them replaced with Orvis, no hassle and great customer support.
