G3 Guide Stockingfoot Wader - Women's

First time fly fishing

Comfort and fit they are the best waders.

Durable .. BUT … dangerous !!!

I have patched my old waders in many places and had finally decided it was time to “bite the bullet” which isn’t always easy as a guide because … let’s face it .. waders are expensive .. good durable waders are expensive! I was totally stoked to order the women’s G3 wader .. they came .. they sat in the box until the high waters finally receded and guiding wading trips was doable. I love the shear durability of these waders ! Everything fits to a “t” EXCEPT … the chest part with the suspenders is absolutely H U G E !!?? I am 5’4” and 123lbs .. typically a size 6 .. there is absolutely ZERO adjustment to cinch the top tighter to your body?? If I go down it’s going to be like a huge bucket and fill with water … scary!!! and especially at my size ! What can I do other than wear a huge down puffy (during the summer) to take up all of the huge space in the bib??

Poor sizing with extremely large chest area

The sizing needs serious improvements. Advertised as a women-specific cut, however, the chest area is extremely large even on a small. Ended up comparing, the small to my old Simms waders from 2017 that are size M 8-9, and the chest is over an inch wider now. Not sure of the reason for the change in sizing. Overall, not what I was looking for as someone who guides in waders every day for four months.

WOMENS WADERS NEED IMPROVEMENT

Dispite being the best waders on the market, I need to take away a couple of stars. Here is why. I basically live in my waders for about eigjt months of the year. The size range on women's waders is not sufficient, so I need to always buy men's waders. And then they never fit very well either because men and women are built different. This results in excessive wear and tear on certain parts of the waders, and then I get wet. Sort of defeats the purpose, and I am not super into buing new ones or sending my waders back every year to be repaired. The website does not even have women's waders on the size chart as of today when I looked to see if anything had improved since i sent an email saying what kinds of sizes need to be included. Clearly it has not, even though I got an email back saying I should look forward to these new sizes. so I guess I am going to have to get poorly fitting waders again. Please fix your tall sizes so that those of us who are actually tall can get something that fits. I am 6'2 with a 38 inch inseam and women's 11 shoes. I am sure those of us who are my height also come in different girth, just like the men do. Please fix this.

I've flyfished about twenty years and have had many kind of waders from different brands. I bought my simm's G3 Guide Stockingfoot waders two years ago and I have used these during four fishing trip, about 25-30 days. During last fishing trip in NZ the belt loops loosed totally. The waders were sent to European distributor of Simm's product (Flyfishing Europe). They repaired the belt loops but they also tested the waders if there is other problems and they found over over 150 pinholes in my waders! Over 150 pinholes and under 30 fishing days. And I'm not a hard wader and don't walk through thick buses etc. I'm totally disappointed to the quality of these waders, which are most ecpensive what we have in Europe. Sad to say but I can't recommend these waders to anybody who want to have durable and sustainable waders.

Fit for a woman, comfortable and breathable

I hesitated because of the price but I’m so grateful I made the choice to purchase these waders. My last pair were for “Women” but I didn’t like the boxy fit. These fit perfectly and the material is the best from all I have tried. Standing in 55 degree water in the PNW, I’m comfortable with just leggings under. The only downside is I use a bait gel and it’s doesn’t come off the material. Guess it gives it character. Buy these, worth it.

They could be better

I replaced my old women's guide waders purchased in 2015. Unfortunately I am not that impressed with the newer model. The material of the new waders is thinner and seems less durable. The chest area is much larger and the shoulder strap padding gets tangled easily when taking waders on/off. There is only 1 belt loop in the back, not sure why? When you take your waders off your pliers on your belt instantly fall off. The gravel sleeves that go over the boots are worthless. The chest pocket is made of thin material and I fear I will puncture a hole soon. Despite my complaints, they’re still keeping me dry after 3 weeks of constant use. Overall, I want to love them but my old pair is by far way more functional. I’m 5’4”, 113 lbs, 34” chest, shoe size 7.5. It all runs true to size other than the chest area.

Great product! Arrived quickly and in good shape. Can't say enough good things about their performance.

Best design & most comfortable women's wader from Simms!

I finally received my Women's G3 waders and they are amazing. I had the previous W's G3 model with 3-layer and 5-layer GORE-TEX fabric. This new model fabric is so much lighter - I really thought it was marketing hype, but it is not! The fit and design also makes this the most comfortable wader.
