Is Simms better than Orvis?
The Orvis Men’s Ultralight Convertible Wader is a very light pair and great for travelling. If you plan on fishing a lot in cold temperatures the Simms Freestone is the better choice since the Orvis does not feature handwarmer pockets.

How much should you spend on waders?
And I’ve got one pair that are almost as good on dry ground, for hiking from one wet spot to another, as they are in the water. Wading boots generally cost from about $60 or $70 up to $200 or $300. I already have three pairs of wading boots, so I won’t need to upgrade there, for now.
