Simms G4 Pro Zippered Wader

The waders use a 3-layer GORE-TEX Pro fabric on the upper body to maximize breathability where you need it most, while the lower legs utilize a heavier 4-layer GORE-TEX Pro construction to provide extra durability against brush, rocks, and debris.

The integrated YKK zipper is fully waterproof, designed to create a complete seal that prevents water ingress even when wading deep. It is built to withstand the pressure of the water while remaining easy to operate for quick relief.

Unlike traditional neoprene stockingfeet that can bunch up or create pressure points, these compression-molded feet offer a more ergonomic, precise fit. This reduces bulk inside your wading boots, which helps prevent blisters and improves overall comfort during long days on the water.

Yes, the 2mm abrasion-resistant gravel guards are designed to fit snugly over your wading boots. They are built to stay secure and effectively block sand, silt, and small rocks from entering your boots, which is critical for protecting the stockingfeet from premature wear.

By moving the seams away from the high-wear areas on the inside of the legs, Simms has significantly reduced friction and potential chafing. This design also allows for a more natural range of motion, making it easier to climb banks or navigate uneven riverbeds without feeling restricted.

While the waders themselves are waterproof, the fleece-lined handwarmer pockets are designed for comfort rather than submersion. They are excellent for warming your hands between casts, but you should avoid placing electronics or non-waterproof items in them if you plan on wading deep.
