Simms Gore-Tex Paclite Jacket
The latest version of a Simms classic, the Simms Gore-Tex Paclite Jacket provides waterproof protection in a lightweight, packable package. For anglers lucky enough to do some globetrotting in pursuit of fly fishing nirvana, the Simms Paclite Jacket is the single best jacket for travel, but it also makes a great choice for fish bums who spend most of their time on their homewaters, but don't put their wading jacket through hard use day in and day out.

to focus efforts on more fruitful pursuits, such as hitting that once in
a lifetime permit windfall.

It's funny how childhood memories can influence one's life!
Just ask K.C. Walsh of Simms Fishing Products about the underlying
theme of his company and its location. He'll tell you it was because his
grandfather took him fly fishing in Bozeman, MT as a young man. Funny how what started as a desire by K.C. to work in the fly fishing industry, turned into the design of the world's best fishing waders and apparel.
Funny how that vision of wader design transformed a company into one
that now manufacturers what is considered by many to be the finest collection of fly fishing outdoor wear in the entire industry. Funny? Not really. Just great concepts and a lot of hard work: Welcome to Simms Fishing Products!
At Leland Fly Fishing Outfitters, we carry and use only the best fly fishing gear.
There’s not enough time in our hurried world to worry about whether our
chest waders or rain jackets are going to leak. We talk with K.C. quite
frequently and love to listen about his passion for developing the most
useful and highest quality fly fishing gear. We at Leland have toured
the Simms factory, attended their numerous product seminars, and vigorously used and field tested their equipment and we can tell you flat out: Simms Fishing Products is doing it right!
