Super Slick SIMMS Jacket is our winter favorite!
We say, don’t forget about winter my fishy friend.
We so often find ourselves thinking about summer fishing behaviors when we fantasize about fishing. Flip Flops, some shorts and a SIMMS fishing shirt. I know that is where my mind often drifts. Thinking of warmer days as we trudge through the mindless winter here in central Montana.
Well the reality is just this. There simply are more days when you need to include cold weather gear here in Montana than the polar opposite.
Waders lead this winter tale as we pull them on more often in than not September thru May, sometimes even June. We live in our waders. The SIMMS G3 is our clear choice. Mid priced and bombproof. Every angler knows that SIMMS makes the only wader Made in America, the only one, and the quality of the product is guaranteed. The G3 is the warrior. You can get into the G4, but for us here on the Mo, with very little barbed wired jumping and not much bushwhacking we like the comfort and ease of the SIMMS G3 Wader.
The SIMMS Slick Jacket is our go-to winter shell. Longer for covering your SIMMS ExStream Jacket easily. “Propelled by GORE-TEX® Pro Shell fabric, with stretch, the Slick flows with your body for superior mobility, while the ultraclean outside-in design delivers snag-free performance from hood to bottom hem.” This truly is your best bet for tromping around Montana winter waters.
A simple SIMMS Zip Top Fleece is one way to go. The SIMMS ExStream Jacket is yet another. Why not be warm. Comfy in fact. Fishing is not supposed to be chore. Nope. More fish are fought when we are comfortable.
We are constantly wandering around with 2 handed rods in the winter and the Slick/Kinetic combo fits the winter Missouri River bill perfectly. Reach though pockets on the Slick allow you to find that lip shit in your interior pocket. And that flask? Oh, keep that in your outside Slick pocket for convenience.
SIMMS Kinetic Jacket @ Headhunters
If your blood runs a little warmer you may enjoy the SIMMS Kinetic Jacket. A great outerwear piece that you can wear out or hide under your Slick Jacket. Your choice. The new Simms Kinetic Jacket is just what we’ve been waiting for. A “puffball” on steroids. We love the hood for super chilly mornings and windy fall days. It’s has some stretch, which makes casting easier. It’s lightweight and the combination of synthetic materials means that when your arm gets wet while releasing that trophy, you’ll stay warm. This jacket is perfect by itself, or under a rain shell. A “must-have” for off-season trout fishing Montana’s Missouri River, or your local winter fishery!
SIMMS is for much more than just summer. It has so many more uses than just one season. SIMMS can outfit you for your other season wear. We got the goods in downtown Craig for your winter, and summer, fishing pleasures![/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][us_grid post_type=”ids” no_items_message=”” columns=”4″ items_layout=”shop_trendy” items_gap=”” ids=”6650″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][us_grid post_type=”ids” no_items_message=”” columns=”4″ items_layout=”shop_trendy” items_gap=”” ids=”8879″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][us_grid post_type=”ids” no_items_message=”” columns=”4″ items_layout=”shop_trendy” items_gap=”” ids=”8910″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SIMMS 2014 Product Line
SIMMS 2014 Product Line | According to SIMMS
Most categories see generous additions and updates, but most notably are new offerings in sportswear, packs, footwear and waders. “The Spring 2014 lineup is the first line that displays the talents of our revamped Research, Development, Sourcing and Design Team here at Simms. In our most important categories, the team has put together an impressive Spring 2014 line,” says Simms President K.C. Walsh.
In sportswear, Simms has restructured its line in 4 new collections that, in total, have 27 new styles ranging from high-tech fishing shirts to off-water staples. The G4 Collection includes the fish-techie Taimen TriComp LS Shirt ($149.95 MSRP) and the GT TriComp LS Shirt ($119.95). The Simms Guide Series Collection features new-for-2014 shirts and shorts including redesigned favorites Guide LS Shirt ($79.95) and Ultralight LS Shirt ($99.95) and newcomer Grand Slam LS Shirt ($89.95).
Simms’ expanded line of Solarflex™ offerings includes the Currents Hoody ($64.95) and Waypoint LS Crewneck ($59.95) to accompany favorites like the Solarflex™ LS Shirt (starting at $39.95) and the redesigned Surf Short ($49.95). All combine at least UPF30 protection and COR3™ technology. Nine new styles encompass the Off-Water Series with casual styling and UPF30+ protection.
Simms’ new line of Headwaters™ Packs resets the expectation for on-water storage combined with engineered designs to provide the ultimate in comfort, balance & features. Two Day Packs (Headwaters™ Full Day and Half-Day) provide enough storage for a day on the water. The Headwaters™ Guide Hip Pack ($119.95), Hip Pack ($99.95) and Chest Pack ($89.95) provide innovative storage architecture to thoughtfully stow any angler’s quiver of gear.
The Headwaters™ Large Sling Pack ($119.95) and Sling Pack ($89.95) allow quick access to more than enough gear, but stow away for unimpeded casting action.
“The Headwaters™ line of packs vaults Simms to the top of the pack world with models for any type of angler,” says Rich Hohne, Online Marketing & PR Manager.
The Simms 2014 Footwear line sees the addition of two new wading platforms and new sole technologies. The best-in-class G4 BOA® Boot ($239.95) and G3 Guide™ Boot ($199.95) take advantage of the new RiverTread™ Platform, which features a new Vibram® Idrogrip rubber outsole. For the on-the-go angler, the Vapor Boot ($169.95) is the lightest boot ever from Simms thanks to the new VaporTread™ Platform and Vibram® Megagrip® rubber outsole.
What would a new Simms line be without the world’s best waders? Well, Simms doesn’t disappoint for 2014 with the re-design of the industry-leading G3 Guide™ Stockingfoots ($499.95) and G3 Guide™ Pant ($499.95). Both incorporate the new GORE-TEX® 5-layer Pro Shell Technology that is 25% more breathable than its predecessor. In addition to these G3 Guide™ updates, Simms will launch a “show-to-go” program for Fall 2013 with a new G3 Guide™ Bootfoot wader featuring two sole options.
For the angler who requires a lighter, but bomber wader, Simms announces the new Headwaters™ Convertible Stockingfoots ($399.95) with 3-layer GORE-TEX® Pro Shell Technology. Easily convertible from chest high to waist high, the Headwaters™ Convertible is destined to be a favorite in the Simms wader stable.
Rounding out the Spring 2014 line from Simms is the Made in Montana Simms Plier ($159.95) and Nipper ($29.95) as well as the redesign of numerous Simms wading accessories.
