Posted by admin under: fishing clothes
Simms Fishing Products announced that its G4 Guide Stockingfoots have been awarded the prestigious Gray’s Best Award for 2008. This award recognizes the quality, innovation, design and overall functionality of Simms’ premier fishing wader.
Gray’s Sporting Journal, now entering its 38th year of publication, is the foremost sporting journal that embodies the sporting life. Readers of Gray’s have come to expect quality, honesty and integrity. Each year the editors of Gray’s Sporting Journal rigorously field test hundreds of pieces of gear for several months. Final endorsements go to a few pieces of gear that have innovative craftsmanship and whose construction reflect those same values that are core to the Gray’s name.
“We are very proud to be recognized for the innovation, design and craftsmanship that went into the G4 Guide Stockingfoots,” comments Simms President K.C. Walsh. “Simms is committed to making the highest-quality, most durable gear for anglers to wear fishing, and the G4 Guide wader truly embodies this quest.”
Simms Fishing Products introduced the first breathable wader in 1993, beginning a key partnership with W.L. Gore & Associates, Inc. Nearly 15 years later, wader technology has evolved significantly. Introduced in 2007, the Simms G4 Guide Stockingfoots feature GORE-TEX® Pro Shell fabric, the most advanced durably waterproof/breathable fabric technology available today. The patented front and back leg seam construction offers enhanced articulation, comfort and durability. Also setting the G4 Guide in a league of its own, the YKK® Aquaseal® waterproof center-front zipper offers unprecedented convenience to anglers. Additional features include an adjustable stretch spacer mesh suspender system, stretch Schoeller® chest pockets, fleece-lined hand warmer pockets, 4mm high-density anatomically correct neoprene stockingfeet and an adjustable, removable Simms neoprene wading belt system. The G4 Guide Stockingfoot is available in 12 stock sizes and can be customized with a bootfoot through Simms’ one-of-a-kind Custom Shop Program.
