At Colorado Fly Fishing Reports we can’t say enough good things about Simms Fishing Products. Simms has been leading the industry in waders, boots and fly fishing apparel for decades and their products only seem to improve in quality and design!
New for 2013, Simms has a whole new line of products and apparel for the discerning fly angler. Simms has so many new offerings that it would be impossible to report on them all but we thought we would share some of our favorites…
For years, the Simms Windstopper Fleece has been the ultimate in cold weather layering technology and this year Simms has only improved with their new line of ADL Fleece jackets and vests. Soft-shell cuffs, neck, and side panels help to increase durability and the lined collar makes for a much more comfortable design and also helps to keep in the heat.
The new design features chest pockets with zip closures for fishing essentials like fly boxes and terminal tackle. Simms has always been clutch at making perfectly placed hand warmer pockets and no doubt you will see many of today’s top fly fishing guides with their hands stuffed in these jackets and vests!
If we had one Christmas wish this year it might be for Simms Extreme Jacket.
This jacket will keep you warm be it a trip to Alaska or a frigid February morning on the Frying Pan or Dream Stream. Features include:
- Superior & highly compressible insulation offers excellent warmth and weight ratios even when wet.
- Insulated, 3-point cinch removable storm hood & soft and flexible collar makes this jacket a great choice for battling the elements of the wild or being the best dresses fly junkie in town.
- Full-length corrosion-resistant front zip. Simms has always made some of the best zippers that will not corrode or get out of synch over time.
Simms is really starting to produce some fashionable apparel and clothing.
