Simms G3 Guide Convertible

Got the G3 Convertibles a little over a month ago and love them. I have only had Patagonia and Orvis prior to these but I can tell you this will be the last pair I ever own. None of my other waders were made of this quality!! Simms has truly blown me away with these waders.

Hi gvillevol,

Its my opinion that Simms makes the best breathable wader on the market if you can afford them. They have a great size selection and you can order special foot sizes on most models. The material is light weight, strong and very breathable. There is a lot of wader options out there but Gore-Tex and Simms stand alone.

Frank

Re: Simms G3 Guide Convertible

I agree Frank. They are just made with a different standard and you are right as well....they are pricey. But if you spend a lot of time in the water they are worth it. My last waders were the Orvis Pro Guides and I wore them out in less than 6 months.
