Question 1

How do you fit Simms waders?

Accepted Answer

To properly fit Simms waders, you need three measurements. The first measurement is your largest girth area. This will be either your chest, waist, or hips. Next you will need to know your inseam. Lastly, you will need your shoe size. Take these three measurements and apply them to the Simms fitting chart and that will tell you which wader size you need.

Making sure your Simms Mens Guide Classic stocking foot waders fit correctly is a very often overlooked part of gearing up to fish. Too big, and your Simms waders will catch water and become heavy while wading. Too small, and your Simms waders just wont be comfortable, or even worse not work for you at all. This quick guide will help you choose the correct fitting waders for all day comfort in your Simms Mens Guide Classic stocking foot waders. I’m a fly fishing guide and I have to fit my clients into waders just by acquiring a few sizes from them prior to the clients fishing trip with us. The sizes I mostly commonly ask for are normal shirt size, normal shoe size, and inseam length. Most waders are pretty true to these sizes, including the Simms Guide Classic waders. The next thing I will consider is weather. Will it be cold or warm? If cold, step up one wader size in order to fit warm clothing under the waders. During warm weather stay true to your normal wader size. For taller individuals with a 33” or longer inseam consider ”long sizes“, for shorter individuals with a 30” or shorter inseam the “short sizes” are the way to go. Stockingfoot sizes can be fitted easily by normal shoe size. Nail down the perfect fitting Simms Men’s Guide Classic stocking foot waders and enjoy the comfort and durability of these great Simms waders.

These waders fit great. They are awesome for wading and easy to move in. When you pair them with boots of the right size, they are comfortable on the foot area and not too tight. In all these waders fit me great and I prefer wearing them to waders I have owned in the past.

Question 2

Are waders worth it?

Accepted Answer

Waders may not be essential, but they make standing in water more comfortable. You can fish more spots, allowing you to reach areas that are harder to access from the land. In my opinion, yes they are worth it.

,

Waders are an essential piece of fishing equipment. Any time you are fishing in deeper water they are going to keep you dry which is really nice when it's colder weather or if you need to finish fishing and go somewhere without having to change. Waders are going to keep you dry and comfortable while you're on the water so you can worry more about catching fish and less about your personal comfort.

,

The Simms Mens Guide Classic stockingfoot waders are definitely worth every penny. They are super durable and will last for multiple seasons even when being worn by the most enthusiastic fisherman who fishes over 200 plus days per year. The gortex fabric is durable, comfortable, breathable in warm temperatures and insulating in cooler temperatures. Any fishermen will be glad they own these waders.

Question 3

What is a Stockingfoot wader?

Accepted Answer

Stockingfoot waders have sock-like booties attached to the ends. A pair of wading boots and gravel guards (often built into the wader) are worn over these sock-like booties. This offers you the chance to buy waders and separate wading boots for a better fit and more comfort.

,

Stocking foot waders don't have the rubber boots already attached to them. Instead they have a neoprene bootie on the bottom that you wear a wading boot over. The benefit to this is that you are able to match your wader with a higher quality and better fitting boot.

,

Stockingfoot waders are simply waders that have neoprene booties at the feet. The bootie keeps feet warm and dry. These are best paired with wading-specific boots.

Question 4

What Simms waders are made in the USA?

Accepted Answer

Simms waders that are made from Goretex fabric are made in USA in Bozeman Montana. The ones made with the other membrane are made over seas.

,

Simms has several waders, but not all are made in the US. The Flyweight, Guide Classic, G3, G4 and the G4Zs are all made in the USA.

,

Simms makes a complete line of wading products. They employ over 100 people in their Bozeman Montana shop to make all the G4, G3, Classic Guide, and Freestone waders models. Simms has been making waders there since 1980. The materials to make these waders are imported. Only the Tributary models are assembled overseas.
