General Wader Care
SIMMS waders are all built from a durable breathable fabric. Whether that is GORE-TEX® or Toray®, the care that should be taken is the same.
Waders should be dried after each use, both inside and out. Simms understands that certain situations do not allow for time to fully dry between uses. It is the expectation that this circumstance will contribute to a potential shorter lifespan.
Breathable fabrics are porous in nature and can collect dirt, oils from the skin and other environmental substances. Regular cleaning of waders is a key contributor to their lifespan.
Depending on the number of days used, annual, bi-annual or tri-annual washing is recommended.
Exposure to salt water or salt air requires special care: The waders must be rinsed thoroughly with fresh water and dried after each use.
Do not store inside your car for long periods of time. Excess heat will damage your waders.
Always put your waders on using a protective mat to shield the neoprene feet from rocks. SIMMS makes the perfect companion for your waders, the SIMMS Taco wader storage bag and changing mat. The Taco Bag zips completely open to provide an ideal changing surface. When you're done fishing, you can store your damp waders in a ventilated bag such as a Simms Taco Bag.
When you get home, you can hang your waders to dry thoroughly.
Regular washing helps maintain the waterproof, breathability of your waders. Wader fabrics are actually micro porous, allowing body moisture to move outwards while preventing water from coming in.

"These are very handy for shallow water, quick trips along the shore and keeping my lower legs dry when using my pontoon boat. Quality construction and heavy materials should make this last a long time."
— Steve M. (5/5)
"Used these hip waders in Yosemite this Spring! Next stop Eastern Sierras. Fantastic!"
— Robert O. (5/5)
"Chasing and guiding for brook trout here in the Appalachian mountains often requires climbing and maneuvering over boulders and downed trees to get to these mountain treasures. You won't find a better wader company on the market period. Simms hip waders are definitely made for the blue line stream anglers in mind."
— Brian S. (5/5)
"These hip waders are a good addition to a market lacking many viable options. The belt system nicely compliments the waders adding to their utility. Very pleased with this purchase."
— Allan N. (4/5)
"Great Simms quality and fit. Used for Seaplane flying, fishing, and hunting. Packs easily into a small bag…👍"
— Stephen L. (5/5)
"I use Simms chest high waders and their guide wading pants. I also own a pair of Simms hip waders from when they made them 15-20 years ago and they are perfect for low water anytime and especially for warm/hot/humid weather. The Second Wind hip waders are even better for several reasons: the integrated gravel guards, the no sag fit, the elasticized loops, lightweight and very comfortable, and I really like the color, too! I have not utilized the belt yet as I just ran my pants belt through the wader loops and the pants belt loops - and I was all set. Easy on and easy off. Great quality that one would expect from Simms."
— John S. (5/5)
"In the water in 5 minutes instead of 30 minutes. I was waiting for Simms to come out with hip waders, passed on them at a FFS an regreted it. When I saw them on the Simms website I ordered immediately. The only negative and it's not the product, but I've been lucky enough to get into a couple of nice fish that took me down river and I forgot that I wasn't in a chest waders."
— Michael K. (5/5)
"Really good fit and weight."
— Christopher K. (5/5)
"They are light and comfy"
— Mark N. (5/5)
"Much more comfortable than full waders which I don't need on my stream"
