Wade Gear

Phones and full submersion don't mix well. That's why Simms designed its Waterproof Wader Pouch so you can stay connected in a deluge or after an impromptu dunking. Featuring a touch-screen compatible window, pouch conveniently interfaces with Simms zip-in Tippet Tender system.

The best value in wading, the Tributary collection from Simms features every ounce of Simms high-performing wader DNA in an affordable package

Designed to feel light on the hike in, sure-footed in moving water, and durable season after season, the CrossCurrent Wading Boot is built for anglers who demand precision, not excess. Every element is engineered to maximize comfort, durability, and traction—without adding unnecessary weight. A supportive midfoot fit system and molded ankle structure lock in stability, while the cushioned EVA midsole absorbs impact and reduces fatigue for long days on the water. Underfoot, a customizable aluminum cleat system allows you to dial in traction. TPU overlays at the toe and heel to protect against abrasion and hard strikes, and hydrophobic materials shed water quickly to reduce weight and speed dry times. The result is a secure and comfortable ride during long approaches and extended days in the current.

Built without compromise, the CrossCurrent Zip GTX Stockingfoot Wader sets a new benchmark in protection, durability, and performance on the water. At its core is a waterproof, breathable 4-layer GORE-TEX® Pro fabric, engineered to withstand season after season of hard use in punishing conditions. The fit is precisely calibrated to enhance mobility and reduce underwater drag, while a padded, customizable suspension system makes this a wader that anglers will actually want to wear all day. We designed the pocketing system to keep tools and tackle secure, organized, and easily accessible with one hand. This wader wasn't built for fair weather anglers—it's for anglers who demand absolute confidence from their gear, no matter the water.

As anglers, waders are one of the most critical pieces of fishing gear that we own, and in most cases, one of our biggest apparel investments. Because of this, the Coastal Wader is our design and execution high watermark. It’s a flagship fishing product that embodies everything that we’ve set out to accomplish at Southerly. They have been a labor of love and focus since we started, compiling multiple seasons of trials, testing and feedback from our team of saltwater angling ambassadors and guides. And while the Coastal Waders are packed with features and details, what is most impressive about them is that they are designed so that you forget about them and just focus on the fishing. We’ve built them to be intuitive for saltwater fishing—pockets where you need them, storage solutions that keep things out of the way, high-quality, corrosion-resistant construction that you can count on, extra layers and reinforcement in the places where waders most often fail. It’s a wader that shows up for fishing, every day that you want to head out. Aside from all the storage — interior dump pockets, waterproof chest pockets and hand-warming pockets — we put a ton of thought into making the Coastal Wader extremely comfortable. We made them with a waterproof YKK Aquaseal zipper to make getting in and out easy after a long day. They have a foam padded adjustable harness for over the shoulders to customize the fit to be the exactly right. There are MOLLE attachment points throughout so that additional accessories are secure and balanced. The neoprene stretch feet are form fitting and the gravel guards are made of bombproof Kevlar to keep sand and debris out. It comes in an extended size run so there is the ideal size for almost any angler.

Boots are sized to fit waders with 4.5mm neoprene stocking feet. We recommend sizing up one size from your normal street shoe size.
