Simms Men's G3 Guide Pant Wader

Guide-grade waders, waist-high. The G3 Guide Pant gives you the same GORE-TEX construction and Bozeman, Montana build as Simms's flagship chest waders, in a pant cut that is cooler, lighter, and far less bulky.

Why this exists, and why guides buy them. Most wading happens below the waist. Chest waders in July are a sweat box, and a pant wader with a proper GORE-TEX shell gives you the good fabric without the heat. For summer, for boat days, and for anyone who hikes to their water, this is often the smarter buy. It just gets overlooked because chest waders are the default.

Construction: GORE-TEX, made in the USA of imported materials. Only the G3 Guide and G4Z carry a USA build statement in the Simms line. Everything below them does not.

Features

• GORE-TEX waterproof breathable construction
• Waist-high cut with belt
• Zippered storage
• Anatomically engineered neoprene stockingfeet with anti-microbial finish
• Works with any stockingfoot wading boot

Current pricing is on the selector above.

The obvious caution: no upper means a deep step gets you wet. In spring runoff, or on rivers where you routinely wade chest-deep, get the full G3 Guide Stockingfoot instead: also stocked. Plenty of anglers own both and choose by season, and that is a genuinely sensible way to do it.

Wear a belt. Always, chest or pant.

Sizing: as across the Simms line, the bootie size is built into the wader size: “L 12-13” is a large with a 12-13 bootie, with inseam chosen separately. Call 970-964-9991 or stop by and we will measure you and match the bootie to your boots.

Warranty: 60 days no questions asked on leaks, free repairs through the first year, then a flat fee covering evaluation, repair, testing, and return shipping. Bring them in and we will handle it.
