Simms has set out to make the “ultimate wading jacket” and the company might have done it. The G4 Pro Jacket features updated GORE-TEX PRO shell fabric, which means it is 15 percent lighter than previous incarnations, but it has more abrasion resistance and tear strength from top to bottom. The Dry Cuff system keeps your arms (shirt sleeves) dry when you reach into the water to release a fish. It has nine storage pockets, including fly-box friendly bellowed and zippered chest options, two tippet pockets, a convenient sleeve stash, internal woven stretch storage, and one heaping back compartment—big enough to hold your lunch, and then some.
