Leland on Simms Layering:
You knew something had to give. One doesn’t spend more than 15 years designing a lineup of the most breathable waders and outerwear, only to have that breathability compromised by substandard layering pieces. K.C. Walsh and his Simms team have poured their efforts into the design and manufacturing of powerful wicking, quick-drying layering products. The first and foremost factor in a good layering garment is it’s wicking ability, or breathability; not just the movement of moisture off your body, but the transport of moisture from one layer to the next outer layer. Without this wicking quality, moisture is going to stay against you skin, or within your clothing, keeping you wet and cold. Who knows wicking/breathability better than Simms?
The next determining factor to a great layering piece is the garment’s drying ability. The quicker and easier a garment dries, the more moisture the garment can transport. Wicking only works if the garment can dry fast. By utilizing Polartec® Power Dry®, Polartec® Thermal Pro® and Visaendurance® technologies, the designers at Simms provide you with the best layering pieces to be worn with any breathable wader or outerwear.
If a garment isn’t comfortable on, it will probably be left behind. As with all Simms products, these layering pieces were field-tested until the fit and feel were just right.
Based on the way Simms waders fit, you know the fit and comfort of their layering garments are going to be second to none.
Moisture is no friend of mine. That should be every angler’s creed when it comes to keeping warm. Simms products are cut from materials that are rated tops in their class when it comes to wicking, quick drying, durability and resisting odor. For comfort in movement, Simms layering garments are constructed with either 2 or 4 way stretch materials. And to ensure proper fit, Simms layering garments come in sizes from Small to XX Large.
Remember, your waders and outerwear are only as good as what you wear under them!

Leland on Simms Fishing Products:
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. 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; K.C. is doing it right!

“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.

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.”
