Orvis Sonic Guide Waders

[grumpy]

My old Silver Labels finally bit the bullet & i was jonsing for a pair of the new convertible Sonic waders.
Got in touch with my rep to see what the best price would be, he asked me what size & he'd see what he could do. A week later a box shows up with the new Guide waders which have more layers than the Convertibles & won't  snap down like them.
WOW, they're not heavy, the strap system is comfrtable, hand warmer pocket's with a front pouch & fold out tool pocket & removeable pouch on the inside chest.
Despite having more layers, these things breathe great, unlike the older Guides that didn't, even though they were bomb proof as well.
At $395 they are priced accordingly well with competitors & very comfortable, for $425 you can get a zipper in front minus the pouch.
I've got to send the rep a Thank You card, these things are as comfortable as they get & yes, i lost my breakfast bar in all the pocket's

Nice review Grumpy! If I was in the market, I would take a hard look at these.
