Why Outerwear?
Why GORE-TEX®?
- Product Care
GORE-TEX® Outerwear Care:
Cleaning your GORE-TEX® garments regularly will extend the life of the product. It will also keep them breathable as dirt and oil can clog the GORE-TEX® membrane over time.
It is critical to wash jackets. Natural oils can damage the GORE-TEX® tape and adhesives causing a peeling effect.
Machine wash warm. Do not use fabric softener or bleach.
Remember to zip all pockets and close all Velcro cuffs before washing to prevent any damage caused by the machine.
Tumble dry on warm setting making sure not to use a high heat setting. Drying on warm will actually reactivate the DWR coating.

- Performance gear at its finest Review by Bear

Overall I waffled back and forth about buying this jacket for a couple of months. The first weekend after I purchased it, I went fishing only to face a Colorado spring day with sleet, snow and temps starting at 35 and dropping all day. I fished for eight hours and stayed dry and warm. Since, I've worn it on a couple of rainy occasions and it is dry, warm and comfortable. If it lasts as well as other Simms gear i have owned, it will be worth every penny I paid for it. So far, very impressed.(Posted on 5/9/13)
- Fantastic Jacket Review by John G

Overall When I heard my spring trophy stream trip could be a cold washout, I grabbed my old rain jacket out of the closet and figured I would grin and bear it. The day before we went out I visited the local fly shop and saw this Guide Jacket on the rack. I hemmed and hawed, tried it on and put it back a few times, then decided it might make the difference between a good day and "get me outta here!" I can tell you, I couldn't be happier with the decision! Next to the guide, this jacket made the day! The guide even said he was going to get one! Great job Simms!(Posted on 5/6/13)

Overall You did it again Simms! Great fitting jacket, completely airtight, and very comfortable. Gives lots of room with vest on for all manuevers. Many compliments on our trip just completed to Colorado. Well worth the price. Thanks again Simms!(Posted on 5/4/13)
- Bang For The Buck Review by Dakota Mercer

Overall Bang for the buck, this is absolutely the best fishing jacket available. I feel very comfortable while wearing it, and it keeps the rain off of my skin. For anybody interested in a jacket, I would automatically point them in the direction of this great jacket.(Posted on 5/1/13)
- Wind & Rain Review by Arni Jonsson

Overall This is by some distance one of the best investments I have made. In Iceland there is always wind, and most of the time when it rains, it does so horizontally. This Jacket keeps everything out! I love, love, love it!

- The best jacket ever Review by Jeff
-
Overall This has been the best jacket I have ever owned. I have put this jacket through the ringer, guiding in the Pacific NW, and it has preformed without flaw. Large pockets placed in just the right spots, great cuffs, I feel bullet proof in this jacket.(Posted on 2/13/13)
- Guide jacket Review by David
-
Overall Have had several high quality rain jackets over the years and continue to use and maintain some of the older traditional waxed cotton. The guide jacket is in another class. The design is so well thought out and clearly suited to fishing. The quality of construction and material is outstanding. When it comes to keeping out the rain, it does exactly what it is designed to do and as such it keeps you on the water longer.(Posted on 12/11/12)
- Awesome Review by Gregory Wood

Overall Great jacket.... price is right... I do most of my guiding in upstate N.Y. the best thing about this jacket is inside the hand pockets is an additional pocket to insert hot hands for thise wonderful snowy cold days chasing chrome....(Posted on 12/11/12)
- Buy it, you'll like it! Review by Capt Clay
-
Overall As a guide, products have to work for me. If it isn't functional, then it gets tossed. If you want a good investment, this is it, as it has huge pockets to carry all kinds of stuff, whether on the river chasing salmon or on the flats for bones. Have even used it for deep sea fishing, just to stay dry. Big factor is extreme durability, which interprets to money well spent. Even has velcro inside the sleeve tips so your body heat stays in and water doesn't run inside if you dunk your arm in the water and raise it up.(Posted on 8/23/12)
