Great wader, trying out full waders, usually run pants. Like the felt pockets

NathanD

Good quality and fit for not being bottom of the line but not guide series. Only used once on a river system, will be tested more soon. Best part is Simms keeping the availability of older year models for cheaper, same quality. Only thing I would add is an extra clip or 2 near the suspender buckles for a clipper/pliers zinger.

Kept Me Nice And Dry!

Waders worked great. Perfect fit and neoprene feet set nicely into my boot. Very comfortable.

The boot seams started separating after 1yr. Repairing myself so far has worked just getting tired of fishing with wet feet & having to repair other area's every second outing.

Wore them for the 3rd time on Saturday morning and fit great. Very comfortable walking down trails and through the stream. Highly recommend.

Online Wader Size Guide

I’m 6’2” size 12 shoe, 190#. The online size guide got it wrong. Changed to a long 12-13 and the fit is great. Good range of motion, very comfortable, bone dry. Here’s hoping as durable as simms products are known to be.

Wadeit

M's - good service through order and delivery. Fit well with enough room to move, bend while fishing, very comfortable. Boots and waders are very comfortable. Will watch durability. Right now would highly recommend. Would suggest some loops, molle type system for ease to grab pliers, etc

Better Than The Tribs

Great comfort. Way better than the Tributary style. The lined pockets are nice and these are more durable than the less expensive style.

Good Quality.

Very comfortable fit and functionality and of good quality. 4 stars because my feet get cold and maybe its just my feet, but a pair of heated socks help a lot. I also did not know what Toray fabric is, but it does not offer much warmth in March in SW Michigan river weather. I think Simms should sell good quality heated socks as an upgrade for people like myself. When the water warms up above the 30 degrees range, They will be fine. And don't get me wrong, I love these waders and I would get them again.

Great Waders For The Price

Haven't been out yet, but the fit and finish seem to be excellent. Comfortable and attractive with great mobility. I didn't feel any stress when kneeling, and that bodes well for seam longevity. Simms reps were very helpful and forthright when I called for info. One suggestion: order the waterproof zipper pocket with the waders. Doing it later costs shipping and makes them much more expensive.

I can’t wait to use them. They look and feel great!

Comfortable And Affordable

These waders are top notch for the money! I fish 5-7 days per week, and I can already tell that they are going to give me a couple good years of service. The sticking boots are durable, shoulder straps are comfortable and the fabric is very flexible for maneuvering over bank obstacles and while on the sticks in the drift boat.

Highly Refined Waders

While I have just received these waders and not had them in the water I am very impressed with the fit and quality. I have two other pair of waders and these are much more refined. I look forward to real world testing in the coming months.

Not Happy With Simms.

Overall not very happy with simms as a company I ordered some waders online because my local dealers carry orvis. The waders I ordered were alittle big no problem, I exchanged them and got the right size. Week later they sent me back the original pair and said they cannot accept the return because they were damaged or dirty. I called support to find out a reason why and was told they have hair on them. I Pulled them out and inspected them and found one strand of my dogs hair. One. Now they expect me to pay shipping again for my second and only chance at getting my money back. What a joke. Looks like I will be buying orvis from now on. Loosing customers over a peice of hair.

Double Check For The Belt Before Heading Home!

Waders fit great and performed exactly as advertised. However, I must give them a 3 out of 5 because the waist belt keeps falling out of the belt loops and a replacement belt is pricey. First time out and it fell out three times. Hydrate or die! Packed up in the dark and missed them on the ground before heading out. Do yourself a favor and make a dummy cord. Hopefully R&D will see this and do it for us in the future AND /OR offer the bright colored options on the original purchase.
