Simms Men’s Guide Insulated GORE-TEX Fishing Jacket
A Simms Men’s Guide Insulated Jacket stops the elements from slowing you down on the deck or the ice! GORE-TEX Gore Performance Technology is durable and abrasion-resistant in crucial wear zones and applied with durable water repellent (DWR) to beat backwater, oils, and “fish stuff.” The insulated Guide jacket is waterproof, windproof, and breathable.
The Simms jacket embraces PrimaLoft Silver High Loft insulation, which provides high breathability and thermal properties explicitly designed for high-output adventures on the water. The soft and packable insulation, made to regulate your comfort level during intense activity, is also water-resistant.
Adjustable hood, hem, and cuffs help deter water and cold from entering the jacket; pair with the Simms Men’s Guide Insulated Bibs for a total weather-resistant suit. If you’re a cold-weather angler who doesn’t sit around and is always on the move, then the Simms Men’s Guide Insulated Jacket is for you!
What makes waterproof, breathable fabrics like GORE-TEX® or Toray® so unique is the porosity of the fabric – keeping the elements out while letting moisture that builds-up beneath he fabric escape. Regular washing will maintain your gear’s original properties.
- Waders and rain gear should be dried after each use, both inside and out. Simms understands that certain situations do not allow for time to fully dry between uses. It is the expectation that this circumstance will contribute to a potential shorter lifespan.
- Breathable fabrics are porous in nature and can collect dirt, oils from the skin, and other environmental substances. Regular cleaning of waders is a key contributor to their lifespan.
- Depending on the amount of days used, annual, bi-annual or tri-annual washing is recommended.
- Exposure to salt water or salt air requires special care: The waders must be rinsed thoroughly with fresh water and dried after each use.
- Most waterproof, breathable gear can be machine washed – please refer to the care instructions on the label for full details.
- Ask your Simms retailer for recommendations on re-treating for waterproofness: Typically they carry re-waterproofing treatments like NikWax.
