Waders, Wading Pants and Wading Boots - Size & Fit Guide Simms
How to choose the perfect size wader?
One of the most advantageous and unique aspects of Simms waders is how many sizes anglers can choose from.
A perfect fitting wader will not only greatly improve your overall fishing experience, but it will also drastically increase the life of your wader.
Check out the video at the end of this article and see what size will fit you best.
Fishing clothing fit is personal, reflecting preferences for loose or slim styles. Consider additional layers for cold weather fishing when choosing your size.
What to wear under your waders?
Don't wear jeans under your waders! Jeans are highly abrasive on your waders wearing from the inside out. More importantly jeans and sweatpants do not transfer moisture away from the body. Proper layering like synthetic materials or wool based products will help wick moisture away from your body and compliment the wader's breathable properties. Otherwise, you'll feel wet and clammy even in the best waterproof, breathable waders made.
Body measurements:
- Chest: Measure the widest part of your chest.
- Waist: Measure the smallest part of your waist, usually just above your belly button.
- Hips: Stand in a natural stance, measure the fullest part of the hips.
- Inseam: Measure along the inside inseam of your pants from the bottom of the crotch to the floor. If you don’t have a fabric measuring tape, use a piece of string or dental floss, then hold it against a ruler.
To measure the length of the foot, stand with your back against a wall and put the foot so the heel touches the wall. Then take a measurement at the position of your longest toe. Do this with a bare foot.
