Similar to Simms Gore-Tex wading jacket I had for seven years which worked very well. Unfortunately I lost it so purchased this as a replacement.

Men’s Guide Classic Wadding Jacket
I’ve been a fishing guide for 40 years and have had several of these Jackets. There the best for about 2 years if you use them in a harsh environment for 100 days a year. But when it finally comes the day you have to wash them even with the proper gore-Tex soap it’s over they start leaking every time. But I will by them over and over.

Great Waterproof Top Layer
I wear this jacket over a Barbour Bedale jacket when it is cold and wet. Even though the Barbour is a wax jacket it is not as waterproof as this one and its pockets are not as useful. I have had a SIMMS Guide Jacket for ten years. It is still in good shape but my wife keeps wearing it so I bought a new one. In design it is the same. Good big pockets on the front which takes fly boxes and other gear you need. The side pockets are good for warming a hand. The material is a little stiffer than the earlier one but that is not a problem.

Jacket
I love the big pockets for fly boxes and the wader cut. The other cool feature is the built in lanyard for nippers in the pocket. My only knock is simms not having enough offerings in the 4x range.

Amazing Rain Protection!
Unbelievable jacket! I fished for 4 hours of down right dumping rain to drizzle and I never got wet! The water just beds up and rolls off. Still amazed that no water got through! Best rain jacket I have ever owened!1
