Leland on the Simms Kid's Gore-Tex Wader
How can you expect a child to embrace and love fly fishing if he or she is wet, cold and uncomfortable in some plastic-bag waders? The
Simms Kid's Gore-Tex Waders are the ONLY youth sized waders available in high performance Gore-Tex fabric. It figures that Simms would design waders to keep children just as dry and happy as their parents. The
Simms Kid's Gore-Tex Waders come in three Youth sizes to fit a wide range of kids, and with the Simms quality found in every pair of Simms waders, we wouldn't be surprised if they get handed down from one child to another, just like we used to do with our Levi jeans. Now your kids can enjoy the river environment with

Simms waders continue to evolve with innovative new fabrics and
design elements. GORE-TEX® Pro Shell fabric is a major technical
advancement. You’ll also see several enhancements and new additions to
our line – from the G3 Guide™ Convertible to a completely new Women’s
GORE-TEX® Wader. However, as our waders progress, one thing remains
unchanged – each and every Simms wader is designed, manufactured and
tested in Bozeman, Montana with the underlying premise to keep anglers
dry and comfortable.
Technical Fabrics: Quadralam™ Fabric Technology: Our proprietary polyurethane
fabric, QuadraLam™ is a 4-layer fabric that features bi-component
construction utilizing a membrane and coating that absorbs sweat and
pumps moisture away from the body.
Design: Each Simms wader is designed to allow for fishing comfort in
all fishing situations – sitting, kneeling, and hiking. An “ease of
use” is built into the measurements. We also offer in the widest range
of sizes to accommodate almost every body type. Several of our waders
feature Simms’ exclusive patented
front and back leg seam construction.
This design not only offers unprecedented leg articulation and comfort
but also significantly minimizes seam abrasion by removing seams from
high-wear areas. All of our waders feature anatomically correct left
and right feet utilizing the highest quality, high-density neoprene and
seam tape from Japan’s preeminent supplier. Our stockingfeet are
constructed with an innovative hourglass seam design for increased
durability (excluding the Kid’s GORE-TEX® waders).
Quality Control: Our waders are handcrafted in Bozeman, Montana with
at least 22 different members of the production team involved in the
making of every wader. We adhere to strict and rigorous methods of
inspection to guarantee the highest quality waders. Every pair of Simms
waders is completely pressure tested with water before they ever leave
Bozeman to ensure the lowest leakage and return rates in the industry.
"To ensure maximum performance, every pair of Simms waders is
designed, manufactured and tested in Bozeman, Montana.
At least 22 different members of our production team are involved in
making each pair of waders. And all Simms waders utilized advanced
technologies and fabrics, providing the kind of durability,
functionality, and comfort that have made them the choice of
professional guides.
"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 s
tay 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. 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.”
