Simms G3 Guide Convertible Goretex Waders - The Epitome of Wading Comfort
Almost all fly fishermen go through the paces of trying to find affordable waders that will last through the entire season without leaking. Unfortunately, this is really not a realistic pursuit. Waders, especially those that retail for under $200, are notoriously fragile and nothing is more frustrating than noticing a significant leak at the onset of a day on the water. There is no other piece of essential gear in fly fishing other than the waders where one truly gets what they pay for. That is why I thought that it is so important to review Simms G3 Guide Convertible Waders.
Simms G3 Guide Convertible Waders
Simms waders have the reputation of being the best on the market and nothing is more indicative of this than the fact that almost all fishing guides swear by them. Guides spend more days on the water in a year than most people do in their lifetime and they cannot risk being hampered by a leaky set of waders. After my own personal bouts with incessant wader failure, I decided to break down and shell out the $380 for my own pair of Simms waders.
Because I am a year-round fly fisherman, I decided on the Simms G3 Guide Convertible waders. This is the first product of its kind that easily switches over from a chest-high to a waist-high design. I have owned a pair of waist-high, breathable waders in the past and I really love the comfort of this style. It almost feels like wading in a pair of pants. There are situations though, where waist-high waders will not cut it and I learned that the hard way when trying to cross a deeper part of my favorite river one winter day.
Simms waders are made with GORE-TEX and although such waders are the most expensive varieties, this material is extremely durable and allows for a level of comfort not found with other breathable fabrics. The G3 Guide Convertible waders have lived up to what I expected out of a Simms product and I find myself switching from the chest-high to the waist-high configuration and back throughout the day, depending on the situation at hand. In over two years of spending more than 100 days on rocky, western rivers in my Simms, I have yet to experience a single leak.
Considering that the average bargain pair of waders will not make it through more than twenty outings without failing, I consider the seemingly high-priced Simms G3 Guide Convertible waders a true value. Sometimes in the life of a fly fisherman one must pony up some good money to get a product that does what it is supposed to do. The Simms G3's have been worth every penny, and I fully expect them to perform as advertised for many years to come.
The waders are available online with free shipping from www.Riverbum.com.
