Simms Women's G3 Guide Stockingfoot Waders

The Simms Women's G3 Guide Stockingfoot Waders are built for anglers who want true GORE-TEX breathability without giving up the toughness needed for hard wading days, so you stay dry and comfortable instead of feeling wrapped in a plastic bag. These are stockingfoot waders, made to pair with your favorite wading boots for a secure fit and better walking support.

Features

Fabric - The updated material package uses GORE-TEX PRO with a 3-layer upper and a 4-layer lower to balance comfort up top with extra protection where you take the most abuse. The lighter 3-layer build in the torso helps reduce bulk, which matters when you are casting all day or rowing and moving around the boat. The 4-layer lower adds puncture and abrasion resistance for brushy banks, sharp rocks, and knee-deep pushy current. Simms also adds 3-layer GORE-TEX Stretch in the upper torso, underarms, and center back, which makes the fit less restrictive and improves mobility when reaching, crouching, or climbing in and out of the truck. This layup keeps the waders breathable where you need comfort and more armored where you need durability.

Suspension / Fit System - The adjustable spacer air-mesh suspender system is designed to sit comfortably on the shoulders and breathe during long hikes to the run. A fabric suspender divider helps keep the straps in place so the fit stays consistent when you are layering up or stripping layers down. Built-in low-profile back belt loops give you both high and low belt placement options, so you can fine-tune comfort and support based on your body and how you like your belt to sit. A 1.5-inch stretch nylon belt is included, and it is substantial enough to cinch the waders down for safety in deeper water and to keep the torso from billowing when the wind picks up.

Pocket Configuration - Up top, you get a top-access zippered stretch pocket for quick-grab items like a phone, leaders, or a small fly box. There is also a zippered, reach-through micro-fleece lined hand-warming center chest pocket, which is a big deal on cold mornings when your hands need a reset between drifts. For organization, the layout includes a removable Tippet-Tender Pocket and a stretch-woven flank pocket on the inside, so small items stay sorted instead of piling up in one big compartment.

Storage/Pockets

The chest storage is set up to keep your most-used items close and easy to reach while you are standing mid-river. The top-access zippered stretch pocket is positioned for quick entry, and the center chest handwarmer pocket stays comfortable and useful even when the weather turns. Internal organization adds a removable Tippet-Tender Pocket plus an inside stretch-woven flank pocket, giving you dedicated places for tippet spools, license, tools, or a slim box. The pocket placement works well with a wading belt, and it stays practical when you are wearing outer layers or adjusting straps throughout the day. For long-term durability, Simms uses patented front and back leg seams that improve articulation and help reduce seam stress in high-movement zones, which can help cut down on wear in the crotch and inner-leg areas over time. Built-in, abrasion-resistant gravel guards add protection at the boot line, helping keep debris out of your boots while shielding a high-wear area from constant scuffing.

Suspension System

The spacer air-mesh suspenders are made for comfort on long sessions, with adjustability that makes it easy to dial in torso length and layering space. The suspender divider helps prevent strap drift, so the waders do not feel like they are pulling sideways after hours of walking and wading. When it comes to all-day comfort in your boots, the anatomically engineered neoprene stockingfeet are shaped to reduce bunching and bulk, and they include an anti-microbial finish to help manage odor after repeated use.

Why We Like It

These waders stand out because they put premium breathability and real guide-grade toughness into a womens-specific fit, without loading the design with gimmicks. The GORE-TEX PRO 3-layer upper keeps the torso light and comfortable, while the 4-layer lower gives you the confidence to push through rough banks and slippery boulder gardens. The added GORE-TEX Stretch panels in key movement zones make a noticeable difference when you are climbing, rowing, or making long reaches with a net. The storage is simple and smart, with a handwarmer pocket you will actually use and internal organization that keeps small items from getting lost. It is a purpose-built system for anglers who fish a lot and need gear that stays comfortable from the first step in to the last hike out.

Other Features

The patented front and back leg seams are built to create an articulated fit that moves naturally when you step high, kneel, or scramble over rocks. Built-in low-profile back belt loops with two height options let you tune belt placement for comfort, layering, and support. Patented, abrasion-resistant built-in gravel guards help protect the lower legs and keep gravel from chewing up your socks and boot fit on long days.
