About the New G4Z Stockingfoot
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.

- G4Z's are the best, hands down Review by Mark
-
Overall I can literally destroy anything and after doing just that with mid-grade waders, I opted for the G4Z's. Other than the comfort and ease of use, these things are probably the strongest I've seen. I don't guide but I do spend over 200 days a year on the water, so I think I put these through the ringer with the best of them.
I've fished in 20 below temps and never once felt the cold of the water, with just sweat pants underneath. Job well done in that department!
If you do find a way to puncture these waders, as I did with falling in a ditch, their customer support is better than the waders. I had my waders back in nine days with no questions asked.(Posted on 3/6/13)
- Really the best I have ever owned Review by Jim Kerr
-
Overall I wreck stuff. I really wreck waders. Couldn't wreck these. Over two hundred hard fishing days, the absolute longest I have ever had a pair of waders last. Comfortable, well designed pocket system, great shoulder straps. Soon as there done I will be into a new pair.(Posted on 2/28/13)

- Great waders Review by Jeff

Overall As a guide I go through about a pair of waders and boots each season. These waders stand up to the test. My only complaint is the sizing is off slightly and the tool holders are not safe from getting ripped off the front. I have lost two pair of hemostats and 3 pair of nippers.(Posted on 2/13/13)
- Great waders Review by Mike Bean

Overall The G4Z Waders are the best waders I have used while guiding. They are extremely comfortable, flexible, and durable. The zipper technology makes it easy to add and remove layers. The G4Z worked great when walking the boat on the Henry's Fork or wading the Clearwater for steelhead. I highly recommend these waders. Good job Simms!(Posted on 1/25/13)
