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
Funny how childhood memories can influence one's life!
Just ask K.C. Walsh of Simms Fishing Products what the underlying theme
to his company and its location, he'll tell you it was his grandfather
taking him fly fishing in Bozeman, MT. 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 wader. Funny how that wader design
has turned into a company that now manufacturers what is considered by
many the best fishing waders and technical clothing. Funny? Not really.
Just hard work: Welcome to Simms Fishing Products!
At Leland
Fly Fishing Outfitters, we carry and use only the best fly fishing
gear. There is not enough time in our hurried world to worry whether
our chest waders or rain jackets are going to leak. We talk with K.C.
quite frequently and love to listen to his passion for development of
the most useful and high quality fly fishing apparel. Our shop
employees have toured the Simms factory, attended product seminars and
can tell you, K.C. is doing it right.

“Exceptionally warm, comforta ble fleece – ideal for wearing under our waders in the Coldest conditions."

“LEAVE THE GOOSEBUMPS TO THE GEESE.”
Simms Layering Systems
“Systems and variables are part of fishing. Just as you rod/reel set-up
is a system depending on the conditions, so too is layering. Proper
layering involves combining the right top and bottom in a way that
allows you to adapt to changing weather conditions so you’re
comfortable no matter what. If your “layering system” consists of a
pair of cotton long johns under your jeans and cotton sweatshirt over
your t-shirt, erratic weather conditions could easily send you home
early. We offer a wide range of layering products to make sure you’re
prepared for anything. Simms layering systems are moisture wicking,
quick drying, plus odor-resistant, keeping you dry when you sweat and
warm without excess bulk. Most importantly, they are designed
specifically for fishing with plenty of stretch and innovative design
elements, such as the water-resistant polypropylene cuffs on our
RiverTek Midweight Top.”
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 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. T
hese “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.”
