Simms Gore-tex Women's Guide Jacket - Wading Jacket


    

Why should I buy a Simms Gore-tex wading jacket?

Successful fisherman would tell you "there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad gear".  We agree with that statement.  Simms products are built with the mindset that there shouldn't be weather adverse enough to keep you from doing the sport you love.  All Simms products are built with this philosophy.  Simply put, genuine Gore-tex wading jackets will keep you dry, comfortable, safe, and are a product that you can trust to help make fishing in wet or cold weather fun.

Why is a wading jacket so important?

Wading jackets are an essential piece of fishing gear.  First off, they will keep you warm, dry, and comfortable which is huge.  You can't fish or even tie knots if you aren't comfortable and that is a pretty essential component.  Fishing in cold wet weather is only fun when the fish are biting or when you warm, when you are cold.... forget about it.  Second, wading jackets are a safety device.  A good wading jacket is designed to keep water out of your waders and trap air inside the jacket to keep you buoyant long enough to get your feet under you or backstroke to shallow water.  It works, just see our video on the Simms G4 Wading Jacket to see the proof!

If you fall down with a Simms wading jacket on

In the event you do take a spill (it will happen eventually), a quality wading jacket will keep you quite buoyant for a period of time.  It will also keep you dry enough to continue your fishing day in comfort or at least without catching hypothermia.  Air will squeeze out of your waders and abdomen and become trapped within the upper torso and arms of your wading jacket.  The idea is that the wading jacket will keep your top half buoyant and let you regain your footing or drift long enough to find a shallow spot.  It is not designed as a lifesaver but it can be.  There are some great articles written on how to recover your footing after falling in but the main thing is that you want your feet facing downstream and you should lay on your back with your head up and looking for a good spot to land!

I used to hate fishing January 20, 2012
Reviewer: Dianne from Snohomish, WA  
I get cold easy when it is even just a little breezy so my husband bought this jacket as he put it "to keep my whining to a minimum" and it helped!  The high collar keeps the breeze off my neck and this isn't your typical rain/goretex jacket.  It is sooooooo comfortable and much lighter and softer than the other ones I found at REI that were supposed to accomplish the same thing.  I love to fish and now I don't have to be cold. :)
