I have a pair of Irish Setters that are about 8 years old. So far they've gone through hell, I probably wore them straight for 6 deer and turkey seasons, then they were chewed by two of my dogs (tore some of the inside out, didn't touch the outside). Without any treatment they are still alive and kicking and fully waterproof. I only wear them now for leaf raking and when riding my quads but I'm impressed.
On another note, I've heard nothing but great things about Danner and plan on ordering a pair of their Pronghorns soon.
Either way you can't go wrong wiith either brand as long as they fit you well. Good luck.
