SIMMS G3 GUIDE STOCKINGFOOT WADER
Winner IFTD 2022 Best of Show, the iconic Simms G3 Wader is better than ever, with an exciting update to the material package, improved fit, and an enhanced feature set while remaining the most comfortable, reliable, and performance-driven wader ever. After 20 years of producing the Simms G3 Guide wader, Simms has evolved new technologies, designs, and fabrics to each G3 Guide wader model always striving to build the best wader on the market. Each pair of G3 Guide waders are customized by over 20 different wader makers throughout the building process and still the only handmade wader built in the USA. The new Simms G3 Wader features a new material lamination package allowing thinner gore-tex fabrics that are more breathable and durable to bind to existing face-fabrics for a more comfortable and lighter fit. Simms includes their patented front and back leg seam construction for a more articulated fit that improves mobility and durability for the life of the wader.
This Simms G3 Wader features a 3-layer upper pro-shell gore-tex, with a 4-layer pro shell Gore-Tex that now is layered up to the seat area just like the guide proven G4 pro wader. The new G3 Guide wader is built with a new air-mesh suspender system for a wader that moves with the body making it more comfortable and flexible at precise areas on the wader. Included in the chest area is a zippered stretch pocket lined with micro-fleece for a hand warming pocket. Simms included the famous tippet-tender pocket that is removable and replaceable with the fully waterproof pouch. Overall, the new Simms G3 Wader is the best built wader for any angler looking for the most breathable, most dependable, best built wader on the market!

These are absolutely well-made and durable waders. However, I simply don't reach for them as much as I expected because they are so heavy-duty. Simply put, the material is thick enough that they are noticeably more difficult to move in as compared to my Freestones, even after dozens of water days.
Granted, I generally hike a fair distance and need to climb over many blow-downs, so if you are not moving much or fish in very harsh conditions, you might want these for the durability. However, for the money I'm almost certainly going to go for two pairs of Freestones than one pair of G3 Guides.
