Fly Fishing Waders

[Salmonchaser]

Wore Simms for 20 years on the Peninsula, in and out of boats, wading every day, hiking the tundra, in and out of float planes, that kind of life. Just purchased my 4th pair; G4 with a zipper. Good lord that zipper is a good idea.

You all with Simms zipper waders don’t have issues with them leaking at the zipper? Buddy got a pair of them a few years ago and they leaked from the get go. Stupidest thing ever if they leak.

The first year they came out I was skeptical. One of the other guides got a set and sent them back, later models have not been a problem. I’m older than dirt, got the enlarged prostrate and drink coffee likes it going out of style. I pea at least once an hour, probably more. 100 + days guiding in them, wearing them at least 10 hours a day, that’s a lot of zipper travel. No problems yet.

600 for both is a good deal.

Another recommendation for Simms.

I don't fish in January so I use Patagonia packable or UL's a lot.
Usually backcountry fly fishing. I have just the pants in both
Simms and Patagonia and Simms full waders. All of them have
held up well.

I think most of the orvis waders are made by aquaz, you clan probably by the same thing with the aquaz label and save some money.

I use simms g3 and really like them, I’ve used them for 3 or 4 years of moose float hunts and they havnt leaked at all, they are a great product but when I get new ones, I’m going to get the g4 with the zipper.

Are you using bootfoot or stockingfoot?
