Simms G3 Guide Gore-Tex® Stockingfoot Waders with Gravel Guards - Waterproof (For Women)

An awesome deal for awesome waders! After trying on some other womens Xl waders that were extremely short (I am about 5 10, 180lbs) I was freaked out and ordered the xxl... The legnth was awesome but they were huge on top. I know have the xl and am pleased. I know that the tops of womens waders have to be big... Darn hips... The xls are still big on top but better... Let's face it I'll always have a vest on and will not be looking for a date on the river! Really nice waders from a really nice company.

good fit , holding up well,

Great product from a reliable American company. I will be fishing about 50 or more days a year for trout, smallmouth, largemouth and perch. Waders are breathable, flexible, sturdy but not heavy. Stockingfoot fits comfortably not to tight or to big. The leg length is long for me but that is my body shape.

Great product, simms are always quality.

I am 5'9" and typically wear a size 18 with all clothing retailers. I ordered these in XL per Simms' sizing chart. When I put them on they felt tight in the thigh, crotch and butt area. The knee area felt good with plenty of material for flex and give, but they skimped on the material for the upper thigh and butt area. I fish throughout the winter, and wear a base layer and fleece pants, but with these waders it felt 'fitted'; Most important, I was scared if I bent too quickly, I'd bust out. lol The stocking feet run small. I wear a 9-10 shoe and they were form fitting with a thin pair of socks. Simms no longer makes this model for women, but they do make a Headwaters model. Hopefully they have fixed the sizing and re-engineered it to a womans body, because I do like their commitment to quality and guarantee. If you don't want to pay return postage, make sure you try them on before purchasing. In the meantime, I have permanently hung up my Simms G3 waders until I slim my thighs, and have been wearing my other brand women's waders in a size large (with the base layer and fleece), whose stocking feet allow room for thick snowboarding socks.
