I stand corrected and you sir, are correct. They are breathable and DWR. My Simms are Gore Tex and my Dan Bailey are not.

No worries, no ill will taken or intended.

Honestly all about the same. About 3 years max for me. I purchase the mid level ones around $200 to $250 off season on sale.

Patagonia and llbean have best warranties. I think Simms gone done hill a bit in quality and the warranty service too.

I agree on the Simms decline. They lured away some Patagonia flakes to help them align with their mentality and i see it working.

Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.
