There are products you make. And there are products that become part of who you are. For Simms, G3 is firmly in the latter camp.
Since its introduction more than 20 years ago, G3 has been the workhorse of the Simms wader lineup. Originally built to meet the demands of professional fishing guides, it quickly became a favorite of anglers who fish hard, fish often, and expect their gear to hold up.
Over countless guide days and river miles, G3 earned a reputation for durability, comfort, and long-term performance. It became the wader trusted by more professional guides than any other, the most decorated wader in fishing and, in many ways, the blueprint for every Simms wader that followed — a hell of a legacy to improve upon — yet, with the G3 PRO family, we did.
At the center of the all-new G3 PRO is an entirely new Gore-Tex fabric package engineered around one simple objective: make G3 significantly more durable without sacrifice.
The biggest advancement is below the waist, where waders take the majority of their abuse.
The new 4-layer Gore-Tex PRO lower delivered a 60% improvement in pinhole puncture resistance over its predecessor in Simms lab testing. That's a significant leap against one of the most common causes of leaky waders — and a meaningful difference for anglers climbing over deadfall, pushing through brush, kneeling on rocks, or simply putting in more days than most.
Above the waist, a highly breathable 3-layer Gore-Tex PRO upper keeps G3 comfortable through long approaches, changing weather, and long days on the water.
The result is the most pinhole puncture-resistant G3 we've ever made.
The new fabric may be the main engine, but more than two decades of fishing G3 gave us plenty of other opportunities to make a really great wader even better.
New patterning delivers a more refined, natural fit with the mobility required for hiking, rowing, and scrambling down banks.
A redesigned suspender system and new hardware improve comfort, adjustability, and ease of use. Throughout the wader, subtle but meaningful refinements address the little things anglers notice after 50, 100, or 150 days on the water.
And that's how G3 has always evolved — not by adding features for the sake of adding features, but by paying attention to the people who spend enough time in waders to know what matters.
G3's connection to Bozeman runs just as deep as its connection to guides.
Every pair of G3 PRO waders assembled in our Bozeman facility passes through the hands of our skilled Wader Maker team, who cut, stitch, tape, assemble, and individually test every single wader only a stone’s throw away from the waters they fish.
It's a commitment Simms has maintained for decades, and one that matters even more with waders that carry the G3 name.
