The Guide Classic model with 3-layer Gore-Tex material is the new edition of this classic Simms Guide wading jackets. It is highly breathable and offers reliable protection from any rain shower, no matter how strong and long! Two spacious "Top-Loader" velcro pockets on the chest are easily accessible with one hand and stow even bulky fly boxes efficiently. Behind them are two handwarmer pockets with soft, quick-drying microfleece - in case your fingers are too cold to fish. Above the left breast pocket is of course the characteristic fly patch made of velcro, where you can quickly hook flies or attach the Fractal Patch. There is also a smaller zippered pocket on the inside to keep your essentials safe. As known from the popular Guide series, everything in this wading jacket has been carefully arranged so that you do not get caught anywhere with the line. So is the shingle-cuff design, which keeps your arms dry when landing a fish, but the hem is turned up over the cuff. There's also a fabric tab about above the D-ring on the back, which means line or bushes can't accidentally get caught in it. A minimalist, timeless and very thought-through design just!
The Guide wading jacket from Simms is one of the most popular wading jackets on the market. A classic that has convinced for many years and protects fly fishermen worldwide from rain and the elements.
