FAQs

How do I clean the Simms G3 Guide Wading Jacket?

Machine wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.

What kind of detergent should I use?

Use a mild detergent that is specifically designed for technical outerwear. Avoid detergents that contain bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the waterproof finish.

Can I iron the jacket?

No, do not iron the jacket. The heat can damage the GORE-TEX membrane. If necessary, you can use a steamer on a low setting, but avoid direct contact with the fabric.

How often should I reapply DWR?

Reapply DWR treatment when water stops beading on the jacket's surface. This usually needs to be done after several washes or when the jacket's performance starts to diminish.

What is the warranty on the G3 Guide Wading Jacket?

Simms offers a limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

What should I do if the zipper gets stuck?

Try to gently work the zipper back and forth. You can also lubricate the zipper with a specialized zipper lubricant or a silicone-based spray to help it move more smoothly. If the zipper is severely damaged, contact Simms for repair options.

Where is the stretch GORE-TEX Pro located?

The stretch GORE-TEX Pro panels are strategically placed in areas like the side hood, upper back, shoulders, upper sleeves, chest pockets, and under arm panels, where movement is crucial for casting.

Troubleshooting

Water is penetrating the jacket.

Check the jacket for any damage or wear. Reapply a durable water repellent (DWR) treatment to the outer fabric. Ensure all zippers are fully closed.

Zippers are difficult to operate.

Lubricate the zippers with a zipper lubricant or a silicone-based spray. Clean the zippers of any debris.

The hood doesn't stay in place.

Adjust the hood using the 3-point adjustment system until it fits securely.
