FAQs

How do I choose the correct size?

Refer to the Simms sizing chart, taking into account your height, weight, and inseam. Consider the layering you intend to use.

Can I use these waders in saltwater?

Yes, but be sure to thoroughly rinse the waders with fresh water after each use to remove salt and prevent corrosion.

How do I repair a small puncture?

Use a wading wader repair kit that includes patches and adhesive. Follow the kit's instructions carefully.

What kind of base layers should I wear?

Use moisture-wicking synthetic or wool base layers. Avoid cotton, as it retains moisture and can make you feel cold.

How do I clean the zippers?

Use a soft brush and warm, soapy water to remove debris. Rinse and apply zipper lubricant.

What is the warranty on these waders?

Simms offers a limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. See Simms' website for warranty details.

Troubleshooting

Waders are leaking.

Inspect the waders for punctures or tears. Small leaks can be repaired with a patch kit. For larger damage, contact Simms for repair options.

Zipper is sticking or difficult to operate.

Apply zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth. Clean the zipper of debris. Ensure nothing is caught in the zipper.

Waders feel cold or clammy.

Check base layers for moisture. Consider adding more layers for warmth and improved moisture wicking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Sizing: Ensure you select the correct size based on the Simms sizing chart. Proper fit is crucial for comfort and performance.
  2. Layering: Consider the use of appropriate base layers and mid-layers to optimize warmth and comfort in various weather conditions. Avoid bulky layers that might restrict movement.
  3. Footwear: Wear wading boots that fit comfortably over the stockingfoot design. Make sure your boots are compatible and provide adequate support and traction.

Compatibility

The Simms Freestone® Zipped Stockingfoot Waders are designed to be compatible with Simms wading boots. They can be used with a variety of other wading boots as long as they fit properly and provide adequate support.

Care

  1. Rinsing: After each use, rinse the waders with fresh water to remove dirt, salt, and debris.
  2. Drying: Hang the waders to dry in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
  3. Cleaning: Use a mild soap and water solution to clean any stubborn stains. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
  4. Storage: Store the waders in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid folding them tightly; rather, hang them or loosely roll them up to prevent creases and damage to the waterproof fabric.
  5. Zipper Care: Regularly lubricate the zipper with a zipper lubricant to maintain its smooth operation and prevent corrosion.
