Simms Guide Fishing Pants

Simms Guide Fishing Pants are built for hot, wet-wading days where freedom of movement and fast drying matter more than anything else. The nylon-spandex blend stretches through every cast and wade, sheds water fast rather than soaking it up, and knocks back the sun on long days on the water. It’s fabric doing double duty as quick-dry gear and sun protection, without the stiffness of a purely technical shell.

Features

• Water-shedding nylon-spandex blend (94% nylon, 6% spandex) that stretches with your stride and dries out fast once you’re back on the bank
• Fixed waistband with reinforced belt loops, a shank closure and an interior drawcord — cinches down and stays put even once it’s wet
• Two front hand pockets and two back pockets, all mesh-lined for quick drainage; the right back pocket zips shut to keep essentials secure
• Laser-cut, zipped thigh pocket for small gear you need fast, also mesh-lined so it clears water in seconds
• Bias-cut back yoke, gusseted crotch with drain holes and articulated knees, so high-stepping over rocks or into a boat doesn’t fight the fabric
• Stocked in a regular length only — worth checking your usual Simms fit before ordering if you normally wear a short or long

Simms Guide Fishing Pants: On the Water

These are made for the kind of days where you’re in and out of the water constantly — wet-wading a summer stillwater, working a skiff on the flats, or guiding back-to-back groups through the heat. Because the fabric dries so fast, you’re not carrying extra weight or chafing through the afternoon, and the drainage detailing means stepping out of the river doesn’t mean stepping into a soaked pair of pants.
