Sizing Guidance & Proper Fit
Finding Your Fit: When determining your size, ensure you use exact body measurements.

Lifespan Optimization: Securing the right fit goes a long way toward extending the overall life of your wading pants.
General Care, Washing & Maintenance
The #1 Longevity Tip: Drying your waders thoroughly is the most critical tip to prolonging their operational life. It is vital to dry your gear out after each and every use.
Drying Protocol: Simms recommends drying the inside first and then proceeding to dry the outside. When drying the exterior, you can pull your gravel guards up until the feet are dry and then flip them down to dry the rest of the pant.
Washing Instructions: Use a front-load washing machine or wash the garment safely by hand. Launder with cold water and normal laundry detergent that does not contain bleach.
Post-Wash Care: Once washed, ensure proper drying routines by prioritizing the inside of the garment first.
Dryer Warning: Never put your wading pants in a clothes dryer. The intense heat will adversely affect the internal seam tape and will completely void your manufacturer warranty.
