FAQs

What is GORE-TEX?

GORE-TEX is a waterproof, windproof, and breathable fabric that provides excellent protection from the elements.

How do I reapply DWR?

After washing and drying the jacket, use a spray-on DWR treatment, following the product instructions. Heat setting is usually required to activate the treatment.

Can I use regular detergent?

It is recommended to use a mild detergent without additives or fabric softeners. These can reduce the effectiveness of the GORE-TEX fabric.

How should I store the jacket?

Store the jacket in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, and avoid compressing it for long periods to preserve its shape and fabric performance.

What is the D-ring for?

The D-ring on the back is used for attaching a landing net.

What is the benefit of the hand warmer pockets?

The hand warmer pockets are designed to keep your hands warm and comfortable in cold conditions, especially when wading.

What is the warranty?

Warranty information is not available in the product description. Check the Simms website for warranty details.

Troubleshooting

Water is penetrating the jacket.

Check if the DWR treatment needs to be reapplied. Wash and dry the jacket, then apply a DWR treatment. Also, inspect the seams for any damage.

The jacket feels less breathable.

Wash the jacket to remove dirt and oils that may be clogging the fabric pores. Ensure the jacket is properly dried and has a functioning DWR treatment.

Zippers are sticking.

Clean the zippers with a toothbrush and warm water. Apply a zipper lubricant.
