Description
From Us:
The Freestone Waders are a great option for the angler looking for all the design and know how that Simms puts in their Gore-Tex waders, in a more economical package. We feel it is by far the best wader available at the sub-$400 price level.
Simms has been improving every version of the Freestone Wader and this one is no exception. The front and back leg seams feature hidden stitching for better durability, reinforcement up through the seat of the wader and neoprene gravel guards. All of these are features that in the past were only found in the G3 and G4 Waders.
While the Toray material is very good, it’s not quite as durable or breathable as Simms’ Gore-Tex waders, so if you get out on the water regularly or are hard on your gear, we suggest bumping it up to the G3 or G4Z waders by Simms.
From Simms:
The ultimate wader for your almighty dollar, the Freestone® Stockingfoot has been refined through years of testing and tweaking and is infused with decades of Simms wader DNA for a determined daily driver — regardless of where you fish.
