Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Simms G3 Guide Wading Jacket requires no initial setup beyond adjusting the hood and cuffs for a secure fit. Ensure all zippers are fully closed before wearing.
Compatibility: This jacket is designed for use with Simms wading systems and other fishing gear. Its universal fit is intended to accommodate various layering options underneath.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Machine wash with a small amount of liquid detergent on a warm, gentle cycle. Do NOT use powdered detergent, bleach, or fabric softeners.
- Rinsing: Rinse twice to remove all detergent.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a medium heat setting for about 20 minutes. To reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, hang the jacket to air dry completely, then tumble dry on low heat for 20 minutes.
- Waterproofing Reapplication: If water no longer beads on the fabric surface after washing and drying, apply a DWR treatment like Simms DWR Refresher or Gear Aid Revivex, following the product's instructions.
