For its Spring 2017 line launch (landing in stores in November, 2016), Simms is debuting new product in critical categories. Handcrafted in the country's only wading manufacturing facility, the company is unveiling the new Headwaters® Pro Wader ($399.95). The new Headwaters® Pro features an all-new 4-layer GORE-TEX® Pro fabric in the lower body for additional ruggedness, updated pocketing with more storage and molle webbing for tool attachment. The wader also features all new patterning based on Simms' award-winning G3 Guide™ Stockingfoot for a more comfortable fit and increased durability.

I've had the Headwater's Convertible for 8 years now and they are performing flawlessly. My only gripe about the new version is that they do not have the permanently attached, nice wide Velcro cinch straps... that design is the cats meow. Wade Simms or wade wet.
I see they went up in price a bit, but that's an excellent alternative to G3's, in my experience. Looks like the extra dough buys you another layer of GoreTex in the right spots, which is probably a good deal. I had a pair with 3 layers last 4 seasons, which is great by my standards.

I thought you had a fashion sense for color - like complementing your skin tone, bringing out your eye color, or making the spots on a monster brown sing. Yet this stuff is all dreary gray. What gives?

Simms is obviously not listening to their customer. They will probably be closed within a year.

I have a license plate holder from Simms on my truck that reads "Wet feet are for weddings".

It does look like we got a couple new colors in the Ebbtide shirt but I must admit I'm not that stoked. Hopefully this will not affect my fishing.

I'd like to see some plaid options. I'd also like more cool green tones.

Like Greenery or is that too dark?
The 50 buck nippers are a nice accessory for those who don't pony up for the 250 buck Abel pliers....

They are pretty much giving them away

But how are they for brew heavy patio sessions?

You deserve a plaid Coldweather Shirt. It's like a winter Ebbtide in nice plaids and solids. Mine are stained from a few thousand car eating accidents, but still holding up.

I just got a raise so will pick up a couple.

I can't wait to see how many more fish I catch in a new shirt!
