Why Simms Waders
Why GORE-TEX®?
- Product Care
GORE-TEX® Wader Care:
The #1 tip to prolonging the life of a wader is drying your waders. It is important to dry your waders out after each use. We recommend drying the inside first (if damp) and then the outside. When drying the outside you can pull your gravel guards up until the feet are dry and then flip them down to dry the rest of the wader
Washing - Use a front load machine or hand wash. Use cold water and normal detergent that does not contain bleach. Once you have washed the waders make sure you dry them properly start by drying the inside first. Never put your waders in the dryer, the heat will adversely affect the seam tape on your waders and will void your warranty.
Fit - We offer more sizes than anyone, a good fit goes a long way to extending the life of your wader. Make it clear that people should use their exact measurements as we have already provided extra room for layering and movement.
General Care - Do not store inside your car for long periods of time excess heat will damage your waders.
Use A Mat - Always put your waders on using a protective mat to shield the neoprene feet from rocks. The Headwaters gear bag for example has a pull out mat that works great for this.
Proper Layering - Do not wear jeans under your waders. Jeans are highly abrasive wearing on your waders from the inside out. More importantly jeans and sweatpants do not transfer moisture away from the body. Use proper layering (to view our layering collection, go here). Using layers such as these will help wick moisture away from your body and assist in the waders ability to breathe.
Stains - most stain removers will work fine on our waders. As long as the stain remover does not contain bleach you should be o.k.

The GORE-TEX® membrane is the heart of all GORE -TEX® products. The GORE-TEX® membrane contains 9 billion microscopic pores per square inch. These pores are so small that water droplets cannot get through but water vapor can still escape. Water from the outside cannot penetrate and cold winds cannot pass through, but perspiration can escape easily, keeping you dry and comfortable all day. GORE-TEX® fabrics are created by integrating the GORE-TEX® membrane between an outer fabric and lining.

- G3 Guide Review by Crewman

Overall When I first bought these waders I was a little reluctant because of the price. They were good at first but after a few years and lite uses (six to ten wears a year as I have neoprene waders for cold weather fishing) they developed leaks.As there was no damage visable to the naked eye I assumed the seams were leaking.I took them back to where I purchased them and they showed me all kinds of pin holes in them caused by "thorn bushes" and said this was not warranty.For the same money I could bought 4 tires for the car with free flat repairs.Should rename them sivvs because they leak like one!
[From Simms]Thanks Crewman: pinholes can occur in GORE-TEX® fabric. You can repair these yourself (see the video here on how to do that) or you can send them to Simms for repair. Please visit our repair site or email us at repairs@simmsfishing.com to get your repair process started.(Posted on 7/16/12)
- Great Waders! Review by Dave S
-
Overall Simply the best waders I have ever owed, period. After years of being unsatisfied with other waders I made the switch to Simms. These waders are tough and super comfortable! I added the custom relief zip for those cold NW steelheading days. Taking a "break" without taking off your wading jacket and unbuckling your shoulder straps- priceless.(Posted on 7/16/12)
- Worth the money Review by Reffy010
-
Overall I just bought my Simms G3 guide waders and couldnt be happier. I purchased the Simms freestone wading boot about a month or so back and really love those too. This is my first pair of Simms waders and i couldnt be more satisfied. Fishing the Salmon River in Ny has its own set of obstacles, climbing through brush and changing beds in the river. These waders are amazing.(Posted on 7/16/12)

- G3 Chest Waders Review by J. Hubka
-
Overall I have owned (and worn out) all the major brands of waders over the last 35 years and I thought that the G3s would be just another normal high-end wader. I was wrong! I have used these waders for 2 seasons in all kinds of weather, river and still water conditions and have never experienced such comfort in a rugged wader. The Simms designers have created a pair of waders that are so comfortable that I forget I have them on! My fly fishing buddies ask me, "Hey Hubs, did ya get new waders?" almost every time I put them on because they still look new. Thanks Simms!(Posted on 7/16/12)
- Great for the salt Review by John H
-
Overall I abuse the heck out of these waders fishing by kayak and surf in the salt hardcore. Fishing around barnacle encrusted boulders for stripers in the deep of the night is my passion and I would choose the G3 over and over again. Other waders never held up very long in this harsh environment. Comfort and breath-ability is an added bonus when you walk 2 miles back to the car on the hot summer nights.(Posted on 7/16/12)
- G3 Waders Review by CTobias
-
Overall I put my equipment through the ringer, so it's important I have waders that can stand up to the abuse I put them through. Hiking in to spots off the beaten path can take a toll on your waders, but the G3's are by far the toughest waders I've owned. Why spend the money to replace cheap waders that leak after one season of hard fishing when you can get a set that will hold up for longer than you will. Definitely worth every penny. Plus their comfortable!(Posted on 7/16/12)
- Why not buy? Review by PolarFly
-
Overall There's only one problem with buying a pair of Simms Guide waders. They last so long and stand up to all your abuse, that you miss out on 10 plus years of new waders being released while you stand by not being able to rightly justify buying new ones. I've owned a pair of the older traditional Guide waders for about 6 years now and would very much like a new set. But why not? I cannot justify it. After all the trout slime, trips and falls, tree branches, flies, beer and gink without a single leak, how could I let them go? I suppose when the time is right to hang them up for good..and I have no idea when that will be. If you want to invest in a wader you won't have to worry about, at a worthwhile price point, this is the one.. But it'll take commitment. Are you up for it?(Posted on 7/16/12)
- G3 Waders Review by Terry B.
-
Overall I've had these waders for 3 years now and can say un-equivocally they are the best waders I've ever fished in! I spend on average 100+days a summer in my waders and they are durable,comfortable,and last! Well worth the investment and will provide countless hours of dry comfortable fishing pleasure!(Posted on 7/16/12)
- tough as they come Review by mike crosby
-
Overall Just wanted everyone to know that I have used the g3 wader for some years now and have found it the absolute best for fit and toughness. I spend alot of dayds every year in my waders and will be the first one to admit that I am not easy on them. I just can't believe the amount of wear that I get out of a pair before I finally have to trade them in. Mike(Posted on 7/16/12)
