I have really started to see Simms products level of quality just drop off a cliff.

The level of customer service has improved maybe since 2003 but has also been ho-hum, sometimes downright terrible.

I can spare the group my specific issues, but wondering if anyone has noticed the same trend.

I have a friend who fishes pretty hard and fishes fairly often. Hes had the same pair of light brown waders for 10 years now. No leaks, no product failure. But I guess making a product that good will put you out of business. Can I say DeLorean....

I cant go more than two months max before some piece of seam tape is delaminating from a seam.........numerous other pieces disintegrating for no apparent abuse reason. I know of two industry people who have had waders leak right out of the box......
