Orvis Clearwater endura ? Any input outthere

[Avidflyfish]

Last week I saw them in a fly shop. They look great, seem to be pretty resistant (lower part with 5 layer of protection) and the price is hard to beat (US 129 ) .
Before to purchase one I'm searching for any advice.

Made in Korea. No warranty. There may be better models at this price.

The days of 100% orvis wader guarentees is over. I once worked at a place that sold Orvis and it was a revolving door....every year a few folks would just "trade 'em in" for a new pair. Patagonia is my choice....More $$ for sure, but a better wader by far, and a repair, replace or refund guarentee. The Orvis products seem to be lacking lately....took 6 new leaders to Abaco in July and they broke like 14/0 thread....the guide had to tie up some leaders from his stuff....lost at least 5 fish due to poor quality......I am now a Climax
Leader fan !!!! :-%

I own a pair. I can't advise as to whether they are durable, I have only worn them for one week. I like mine. If you haven't done so already you might want to check out the Orvis website. There is a description of the wader construction, warranty and, (I think) instructions how to repair leaks. The new version Endura sells for the price you mentioned. Last years model should sell for a lot less. I paid $65 for mine online.

I will take a look around to see another options (until 150 bucks).
