That's OK. With gortex going away all wader companies will be about the same using inferior products.

What’s happening to Gore-Tex?

Removing the Teflon based chemicals.
PFAS ?

Will this be the end of $1000 waders or the beginning of $1500 waders?

I guess I'm glad I kept my Seal-Dri 100's.

Probably the second one...

Gore-Tex is not going away, they are changing their formulation, been underway for several years. Will they be more expensive, of course, prices virtually always go up, rarely down.

The constant churning of corporate ownership and 'realignmnet' ain't good for anybody but departing and arriving CEOs.

And if prices did start decreasing on a macroeconomic scale those deflationary impacts would be disastrous. Nominal inflation rates of 2% to 3% must occur to spur reinvestment.

Being they are not breathable, wonder how well they actually will work keeping you "dry"

They go to great lengths to explain it on their site. It's intriguing. But unless they find us an outlet worthy of a set for reviews, I don't see us finding out any time soon.

I saw they come from Sweden. Does the Swedish Bikini team visit you after you buy the $ 1,600 wader?

Are they made from genuine Saskatchewan seal skin bindings?

 

[Long_Rod_Silvers]

I wonder how long before they're really stinky.
