Leland on the Simms Revivex Gore-Tex Treatment
Regardless what “they” told you, Gore-Tex garments
do
not remain 100% waterproof forever. That's where Revivex® by McNett®
comes into play. After repeated washing or even lots of daily use, Gore-Tex® garments
lose the ability to shed water or their water repellent. Revivex®
reinstates the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) to outerwear,
restoring
them to their natural water repellent state. Revivex® brings your
favorite Gore-Tex® garment back to life. Let it rain, let it rain.
Specifications:
- Revitalizes the surface water resistance of Gore-Tex® waders and garments
- 5oz. bottle
Leland on Simms Accessories
As a manufacturer of premium fly fishing waders,
the folks at Simms Fishing Products know the quality and importance of
wading accessories. Few manufacturers of fly fishing gear have the
knowledge of what is needed and experience of works
on the stream, river or flats to make for an enjoyable day of fly
fishing. Simms has been designing and manufacturing fly fishing gear
for more 15 years. They field test and use everything they design. You
know that if your fly fishing accessories have the Simms name or logo
on it that product is first and foremost functional and manufactured of
the highest quality materials. There is fore thought that goes into
every Simms wading accessories. From sunscreen to back saving belts to
gravel guards you should never be on the water, fresh or salt without
at least two or three Simms Accessories.
Simms Accessories are
those special products you need for an easy day on the water. When
possible Simms manufactures or assembles many of the wading accessories
in their Bozeman factory. Simms aligns themselves with only the best
when it comes to outside manufacturers and all of these outside
products must meet the same Simms in-house manufacturing level of
quality. To help ensure this quality Simms personal inspect all outside
manufacturing plants. Simms products are field tested to ensure
functionality and quality. Many of these products like replace laces
and retractors are those found on existing Simms products. Fly fishing
without Simms Accessories is, well, somewhat empty.

Simms on Simms Products
"Why do professional guides choose Simms? Because we take pride in
what we make, and products have been designed to go the distance. Our
in-house design team has a combined 50 years of experience in making
durable technical outerwear. We work closely with top material
suppliers from around the globe, and continually test both our new and
old products in the lab and out in the field to make sure we meet or
exceed your expectations.
Nothing pleases us more than to see
our products, like those on the guides featured in out catalog and on
our website, go the distance.”
“The thrill of discovering a pristine stream after a long hike into the backcountry,
the exhilarations of being on the flats on one of those incredibly
clear days, the rush of a crisp morning on a British Columbia river
when the steelies are running, these are the memories that keep us
tying through the dark winter months, and always find us plotting our
next angling season or weekend.
At Simms, we never forget that
the goal of every committed angler is to stay on the water as long and
has often as possible-regardless of the weather. That’s why we never
stop looking for new ways to keep you dry and comfortable. Whether
you’re waist deep in a drizzling snow on the Missouri or scouting the
Keys in the sweltering heat of a June afternoon.
For 2007,
we’re delighted to present the new zippered G4 Guide wader, the most
technical wader we’ve ever created. We’re also proud to introduce the
two most competitive waders under two hundred dollars, the first
GORE-TEX wader for kids and a full arsenal of new clothing.
So for all those who will be out there earlier, longer and later, we’ve got just one thing to say: Your Gear is Ready”
“Simms. The Choice of Professional Guides Worldwide”.
Simms on Conservation
“IF YOU COULD PASS JUST ONE THING DOWN TO YOUR KIDS, WHAT WOULD IT BE?”
“Fishing is dependent on clean water, healthy ecosystems and just as important,
people who care about conservation and resource preservation. It is the
responsibility of everyone who enjoys angling to help protect and
enhance our fresh and saltwater fisheries. After all, what greater
inheritance would we leave future generations?
Supporting
local, regional, and national conservation organizations is certainly
an important role that angles can play in caring for our fishing
resources. However, one area of vital concern, and one that all anglers
can easily help do something about, is the spread of aquatic invasive
species. These “hitchhikers”, including New Zealand mud snails, Didymo
and whirling disease are having an enormous effect on rivers across the
United States and are directly linked to reduced trout populations.
Unfortunately, anglers are part of the problem, given that invasive
species are spread by “hitchhiking” on waders, wading boots, drift
boats, trailers and other gear.
YOU CAN HELP PREVENT THE SPREAD OF INVASIVE SPECIES IN THREE EASY STEPS:
1)
Thoroughly rinse all fishing gear -including waders, boots, boats, and
boat trailers- in clean freshwater upon leaving a water source. Never
travel from one river to another without clean gear.
2) Air-dry gear before moving to another body of water.
3) Tell other anglers about this problem and what they can do to help.”
