SIMMS G4Z WADERS
Newly designed, the Simms G4Z Waders achieve the ultimate in comfort, breathability, and durability. Simply put, these are the best waders currently on the market. Designed for professional guides and anglers fishing in the toughest conditions, the new G4Z Waders utilize the new Pro Shell fabric from GORE-TEX making them thinner and more abrasion, tear and puncture resistant than they have ever been before. The G4Z Waders also debut Simms brand new compression-molded stockingfoot for a snug, more comfortable fit for enhanced stability and warmth. The stand apart feature for the G4Z Waders is the YKK waterproof zipper for quick relief and getting into and out of the waders is incredibly easy. It protects phones and other accessories from the elements. Even the often overlooked components waders have been redisigned for the new G4Z Waders to enhance longevity and fit. They now feature a new suspender system that further enhances the fit and comfortability with breathable air-mesh straps as well as the new streamlined GORE-TEX belt loop system that offers a lower profile and better fit with the belt.
Every part of the new G4Z Waders has been reconsidered for the update and there are new or completely redsigned features at each turn on the wader. Put those new features onto the technologially superior Pro Shell fabric from GORE-TEX and you have a wader worthy to be at the top of the Simms line.

Waited to purchase these for a good price and couldn't be more pleased with the decision. I'm 6'1", 240 lbs and opted for the XL. They are a little roomy which is good, booties fit perfect for some wool socks but could have benefited from an inseam 2" shorter. All in all, very well made and the perfect compliment to my Simms G3's and G3's wading pants. I'll save the G4Z's for cooler waters and when having to dress in layers for more warmth.

Loyal Simms customer for years, still nursing along two older pairs of G4's from 4-7 years ago. Got a good deal on the latest G4Z from the good folks here. Using the size calculator on the Simms website, I was in between sizes, so opted for the larger pair. I found them roomy and so opted to exchange for the smaller pair. I ended up waiting about 5 months for Simms to ship the new pair. Attempts to contact Simms customer service was often futile, with either no one answering the phone, or no one able to give me an expected ship date. Finally the waders arrived and the first time on the water, I noticed the booties seemed uncomfortably snug which resulted in colder than normal feet in 50 degree water. Keep in mind, the size adjustment should not have affected the foot size. Furthermore, the waders seemed excessively long, such that the straps were adjusted to their tightest and were still loose. When I took the waders off, my lower legs were damp around the bootie seam. The staff at Reelflyrod, who always answer the phone, and are always eager to help, were quick to make things right. Unfortunately Simms informed them that they no longer had any stock to replace my waders since the new line would be released in 2024. Simms has new owners and let's hope they get their act together. I want to support American manufacturing, but I'll be wearing a competitor's wader for the next round because I already waited half a season for a defective product and don't feel like waiting another 5 months for a replacement. Kudos to Reelflyrod for their outstanding customer service. The stars are for them, not for Simms.

I just replaced my old set of g4z’s that were over 10 years old and still functional without leak other than compression seepage on neoprene foot. Tried these more waders out in YNP area this year for one week and they functioned perfectly. These new waders are lighter and are more breathable than the original pairs due to the improvement in materials. The zipper is also slightly longer or better placed than the original pair. They say it’s also suppose to be just as durable but Time will tell… I would recommend this wader as it’s refined and meets all the fine requirements of a great set of waders

Having been in the camp of buy cheap waders...this is my first foray into buying a 'high end' set. Always thought 'waste of money'.
Couldn't have been more wrong. These things are worth every penny.
The SIMMS AI bot told me my size...a leap of faith on my part. Was absolutely spot on. I usually go for the x-large...they suggested large King. Spot on fit.
Quality is there...they are quite well built. Time will tell of course. But so far, so good.
Love the straps, much more comfortable than the cheapos.
Overall, very comfortable saying worth every penny. Expensive, for sure. But if I can get 4-5 years out of them, worth it.

I’ve owned Simms g3 waders for years. I got tired of the hassle of stripping down to take a leak. The zipper is a total game changer. We’ll worth it!

These are the best like other reviews have stated. You are paying top dollar but you are also getting one of the best warranties in the industry. I never used Simms b/c their sizing never worked for me (too large of foot booties on a Medium Wader 9-11 when I'm a size 8.5) UNTIL I found out Simms allows you to customize any wader for a small price. Check it out! I bought these G4Zs and sent them to Simms and for $50 they put a totally different foot / bootie on. I wish I had known this a decade ago and hopefully someone finds this helpful.

I bought these after my previous waders ripped after a month of use. The G4s are comfy and durable. I’m used them for 3 seasons without issues.
