The advantages of Gore-Tex
Gore-Tex is a waterproof, insulating, windproof and breathable membrane. It has many qualities to create waterproof clothing to face the most adverse weather conditions. The Simms brand has understood these qualities, integrating this material in the manufacture of its high-end waders.
Sizes for everyone
One of Simms' strengths is the multitude of leg length, size and bust size combinations available. You are sure to find a model that will fit your body type for optimal comfort and low seam stress, compared to ill-fitting models. Indeed, the seams often correspond to the places where leaks appear. Waders that fit your body size are synonymous with durability.
One pair of waders for the year
The angler who wants to fish comfortably, summer or winter, needs two waders, one breathable for summer and one neoprene for winter. The thermal insulation provided by Gore-Tex allows you to use only one wader all year round. Gore-Tex is even superior to Neoprene for winter use. It is more flexible, therefore comfortable if you want to increase the layers of clothing and especially it breathes better than Neoprene.
Where to get them?
In France, there are few retailers where you can find the Simms brand. I can recommend the store Ardent pêche in Pontivy, which has its own website with the same name. You will find the whole range of Simms waders in the fly fishing section of the site. In the store as well as on the phone, they will give you good advice to help you choose the size that suits you best. The store also provides after-sales service with the parent company, so no need to worry about that, it's a serious business.
