FAQs

What makes the 2026 model different from previous versions?

The 2026 model features an upgraded 3-layer GORE-TEX® construction with a new ePE PFAS-free membrane and a CO DWR finish, alongside design refinements for enhanced performance and environmental consideration.

Is this jacket suitable for cold weather fishing?

The jacket is designed for waterproof protection and breathability. For cold weather, layering appropriate insulating garments underneath is recommended to provide warmth.

How do I ensure the GORE-TEX® performs optimally?

Regular cleaning and proper care, including reactivating the DWR finish, are essential to maintain the jacket's waterproofness and breathability.

Can I machine wash and dry the jacket?

Yes, the jacket can be machine washed and tumble dried according to the specific care instructions provided. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and powdered detergents.

What does 'Guaranteed To Keep You Dry™' mean?

This is a GORE-TEX® promise indicating that the product's fabric technology will keep you dry under normal use and care conditions.

What is a PFAS-free membrane?

It means the membrane used in the GORE-TEX® construction does not contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are chemicals that can be harmful to the environment.

How tight should the watertight cuffs be?

The internal cinch cuffs should be tightened snugly to create a seal against your wrist, preventing water from entering your sleeves while also minimizing line snags.

Troubleshooting

Water not beading on the surface

This indicates the DWR finish has worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and reactivate the DWR finish by tumble drying or applying a DWR treatment.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush and mild soap. Lubricate with a wax-based product like a zipper wax or a small amount of petroleum jelly. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Reduced breathability

The jacket's membrane may be clogged with dirt or oils. Follow the thorough cleaning instructions provided. Ensure you are using a suitable detergent and rinsing thoroughly.

Cuffs are leaking or not sealing properly

Ensure the internal cinch is fully tightened. Check for any debris or damage around the cuff seal. Wash and dry the cuffs to ensure they are clean and the material is flexible.

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:

  1. Cleaning: Machine wash with a small amount of liquid detergent on a warm, gentle cycle. Do NOT use powdered detergent, bleach, or fabric softeners.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse twice to remove all detergent.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
