Shale, trails, all sorts of terrain. Long story short, I would buy them again in a heart beat, I have been trying out a few different brands since, and know that I am going back to the Simms. I would have hate to see what would have happened to a cheaper pair over those two years! I also have not been in my waders as much over the past couple years, besides just regular fishing, so I don't want to comment those brands yet!

Yup, I resoled mine after a few years for 80$ used some PL on bursting seams and I’ll get another couple out of them.
