Simms Fishing Products -- Product Reviews

February 2008	G3 Guide Vest	"Substantial capacity in 24 pockets is a real plus if you hit the water loaded for bear. The pockets are sized and configured to accommodate lots of fly boxes, and the weight-distributing yoke combined with a padded stretch collar can haul the freight painlessly."

October/November 2007	3XDry® Microcheck Shirt	"Functional and handsome enough for casual wear, the 3XDry Micro Check Shirt ($70) from Simms features several technological advancements that make it great for fishing. The shirt is treated with the 3XDry Schoeller technology, which sheds water on the outside, wicks moisture on the inside away from the body, and dries six to eight times faster than a garment without the treatment."

September 2007, Gear of the Year Issue	Superlight Insulated Jacket	"Until now, if you wanted a lightweight layering jacket, you chose either down or synthetic fill. You had to pick the lesser of two evils. Enter Simms' Superlight Insulated vest and jacket with Primaloft One insulation-a durable, fast-drying polyester microfiber that retains warmth when wet and has the highest warmth-to-weight ratio of any synthetic on the market. I can vouch for its feathery weight and compactability, and it helped keep me warm on an elk hunt last winter."

July 2007	Classic Guide Jacket	"Pretenders constantly try to dethrone this heavy-duty Gore-Tex jacket and never will…Misses: There are none. It's not a lightweight summer-showers kind of jacket, but it isn't intended to be."

March 2007	G4 Guide™ Stockingfoots	"These are undoubtedly the most advanced waders ever made…A major feature is the YKK Aquaseal waterproof center-front zipper, which does more than merely accommodate those moments of necessary relief. The zipper, unlike some other waterproof zippers, is smooth and easy...Value is in the details: Every inch and stitch proclaims quality."

March 2007	Dry Creek™ Boat Bag - Large	"We've grabbed Simms' Dry Creek Boat Bags from Alaska to Mexico, and everywhere in between. They've even gone as checked luggage several times, and despite the hard use, they've never leaked and never let us down."
