Fishing isn’t something you always plan. It’s something that calls. And now, thanks to the all-new Flyweight Packable Wader, you’re always ready to answer. Born from nearly a decade of design, testing, retesting — and a whole lot of trail miles — this is Simms’ lightest, most packable wader ever. Built for the anglers who hike further, travel lighter, and chase fish beyond the edges of the map, the Flyweight Packable Wader is engineered to disappear in your pack and show up when it matters most.

The Innovation Inside
From the very beginning, this project was about pushing limits. We set out to design a wader that could go places no other wader could. A wader that stripped down weight and bulk, but didn’t compromise durability or performance. The result? A sleek, strong, and fully functional wader that packs into its own chest pocket.

The Flyweight Packable Wader weighs in at just 2.45 lbs. (standard medium). For perspective, that’s light enough to stash in a daypack, under the a drift boat seat, or in the bottom of a carry-on suitcase. Whether you’re bushwhacking into a remote alpine lake or grabbing a half-day on the road between meetings, these waders don’t just fit with your obsession — they pack for your escape.

Built to Last
Let’s talk materials. The upper is constructed from a 2.5-layer Toray fabric that keeps weight down and packability up. The lower — where you need more durability, is made from the same 4-layer Toray® Quadralam you’ll find in our Freestone collection of waders. It’s proven. It’s tough. And it breathes.

Diving Into Details
Featuring fully adjustable suspenders that allow for an easy waist-high conversion, anglers can vent heat on the hike out, or dial your setup to the weather. A cinch cord concealed inside the top hem provides a customized fit to zero in on comfort and support. In true Simms fashion, a zippered chest pocket allows anglers to keep their essentials close to hand — and yes, this is the same pocket the entire wader packs inside of. Simms’ patented front and back leg seams offer superior mobility and comfort, whether you're climbing over deadfall or crouching down to make that perfect stealthy cast. Low-profile integrated gravel guards and 1mm embossed neoprene stockingfeet are lightweight, packable, and streamlined by design.

Who It's For
The Flyweight Packable Wader was initially designed for backcountry anglers — those willing to earn their water, mile by mile. But like all great gear, its true value lies in just how versatile it is.

This wader shines in the shoulder seasons, when it’s too cold to wet wade and to warm for your G3s or G4s. It's perfect for the traveling angler who wants to be ready without sacrificing space. And it’s ideal for anyone who understands the value of a gear quiver—a set of tools you tailor to your mission, the weather, or the window of opportunity.

A Wader for the Way You Fish Now
By and large, anglers these days aren’t just fishing a singular fishery. From urban creeks to remote headwaters. From red-eye business trips to last-minute road trips. The Flyweight Packable Wader doesn’t just keep up, it leads the way.

In a world where versatility matters more than ever, this is the wader that lets you go further, fish longer, and stay lighter. It’s the latest chapter in the Simms’ lineage and heritage of wader innovation. So whether you’re deep in the backcountry, chasing spring creeks at lunch, or boarding a plane with a rod tube and a modest carry-on, know this: Your obsession doesn’t take up space. Now, neither do your waders.
