FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Simms Strata 200 Mid Layer Bottoms?

Their primary purpose is to provide warmth and manage moisture as a mid-layer, suitable for adult males during outdoor activities in cool to cold weather.

Are these waterproof?

No, these are not waterproof. They are designed as an insulating layer and should be paired with waterproof outerwear if protection from rain or snow is needed.

Can I wear these as a base layer?

While they offer moisture management, they are considered a midweight mid-layer. For very cold conditions, wearing a lighter base layer underneath is recommended. They can function as a base layer in milder cool temperatures.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the Simms sizing chart for accurate measurements. Ensure the waistband fits comfortably and the length is appropriate for your leg.

What type of activities are these best suited for?

They are ideal for fishing, hiking, camping, and other outdoor pursuits in cooler or cold weather where staying warm and dry is important.

How should I care for these bottoms to maintain their performance?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors, use non-chlorine bleach only if needed, and tumble dry on low. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning.

What does 'channelled fleece' mean?

Channelled fleece refers to the construction of the fleece fabric, which creates small channels that help trap air for added insulation and improve moisture movement away from the skin.

Troubleshooting

Waistband feels too loose

Tighten the internal drawcord to achieve a more secure fit.

Fabric feels less soft after washing

Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can interfere with moisture-wicking properties. Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions.

Not warm enough in very cold conditions

Consider adding a thinner base layer underneath or a more insulated outer layer on top. These are designed as a mid-weight layer.
