The Simms G3 Guide Jacket 2026 edition is a technical wading jacket designed for demanding fly and spin anglers who spend long days on the water. The lightweight yet durable 3-layer GORE-TEX shell with new ePE PFAS-free laminate and C0 DWR delivers reliable waterproof and breathable protection in shifting weather.
A 3-point adjustable storm hood with a shaped brim keeps rain and spray away while maintaining peripheral vision when you are tracking your drift or following a lure. Articulated sleeves and a Cast-Back panel construction provide free movement for long casting sessions with fly rod or spinning gear.
Shingled watertight cuffs with internal cinch prevent water running up the sleeves when landing and releasing fish or stripping line close to the surface, and they reduce the risk of tangling your running line. Two high-capacity chest pockets take medium fly boxes or smaller lure boxes, while higher-placed, YKK Aqua-Seal handwarmer pockets drain quickly and stay usable when wading deeper.
On the chest you get two Velcro fly patches with laser-cut holes for easy attachment of tools like line clippers, forceps or zingers. Inside, a zippered chest pocket with integrated microfibre lens wipe keeps glasses and electronics safer, and an internal mesh dump pocket holds gloves, hats or extra tackle boxes.
