Why We Like The Simms Freestone Z Stockingfoot
Built to keep us warm and dry on the water, Simms' Freestone Z Stockingfoot adds a waterproof center zipper to these popular waders. The 4-layer Toray fabric is rugged to handle overgrown river trails and deliver durable waterproofing for multiple seasons of wading. When nature calls, the convenient TIZIP zipper lets us take a whiz without removing our waders and upper layers, so we don't waste precious fishing time dressing and undressing. In the Simms Stockingfoot series, we don't need to worry about getting wet. All we need to do is slide our wading boots on—and slip the built-in gravel guards over them—and hit the water with our favorite dries or nymphs.

Review Summary
Customer Images
Here's what customers have to say
The waders are generally comfortable, durable, and well-suited for various fishing conditions. The front zipper is a convenient feature. However, some users have experienced issues with leaks, pinholes, and problems with the shoulder strap adjustments. The lack of an internal pocket for storing items like a phone was also noted as a potential drawback. Overall, the waders seem to offer good value for casual anglers, but more serious users may want to consider a higher-end model for increased durability and longevity.

Excellent waders
Working as a fisheries professional, these waders are part of the PPE required to do our job. In the water 3-5 days a week, surveying fish, constructing weirs and traps, we need waders that perform, day after day, and the Freestone Z waders are the ticket. Easy on and off with the built in zipper. As someone who spends 120+ days/year working in waders, I would highly recommend.

Very versatile wadders.
These wadders are great! They are comfortable, very important, easy to put on and take off, hold up on rocky banks and dry out quickly. They are very versatile and I am so glad that I upgraded.

Great product
I had previously owned a premium competitor product but over time the inseam and chest area, not to mention no zipper, became quite uncomfortable. The Sims zipper is a game changer and the expansive chest area, with short inseam is perfect. Lightweight, seems durable. The zipper pocket s in the chest are a bonus.

Waders
Finally got out fishing this weekend. Stayed warm and dry. First time using stocking foot waders. Feet stayed warm temps in 20s. Boots gave great support to ankles. Great product

As expected
Awesome product per usual. Only thing I would add is a pocket inside to keep your phone out of water. Other than that keep doing what you’re doing. Never change Simms!

Spoke to soon
Literally just wrote a great review on these waders and the very next day they started leaking. :man-facepalming: should’ve kept my mouth shut. Small leak between neoprene and wader just above my ankle. Bummed!!!

Freestone Z
Extremely disappointed in Simms. First, I ordered in November and when I hadnt gotten it by early mid December I spent hours trying to get a hold of someone. Finally got a hold of someone, quot;there was some problem with orders during that week in Novemberquot;. He couldnt tell me if it would come before Christmas. Fortunately, it did. However, the same size my husband has worn forever, these waders were huge in the trunk. He put his old freestones on top and there was 3 inches of material (so 6 inches total) extra. We thought maybe it got mislabeled or something. Sent an email but surprise, no answer.

:muscle::fishing_pole_and_fish:
Unbelievable, waders super tough super durable. Absolutely zero complaints had them for two years now fishing on a small river with blackberries and tons of other obstacles they have held up great.
