Once again, our product team has done an outstanding job of making the best even better and also bringing new product innovations to the table,” said Casey Sheahan, CEO of Simms. “In my mind, not only is this a pivotal collection of technical fishing gear, it’s a collection that makes a statement because it truly represents what Simms is all about.”
The Simms spring 2020 line features the expansion of the G4, Dry Creek®, SolarFlex® and BugStopper® collections, along with a wider selection of outerwear for women.
