Why We Like The Simms G4Z Stockingfoot Wader
As if the Simms G4 waders weren't famous enough, the G4Z Stockingfoot Wader adds a YKK waterproof front zipper, so we don't have to get half-undressed just to take a pee in between fish. Made in Bozeman, Montana, the G4Z features premium GORE-TEX waterproofing—with 3-layer GTX up top for more mobility and breathability and 4-layer GTX down low for better durability and abrasion resistance. In addition to the iconic front zipper, these waders also include micro-fleece lined handwarmer pockets, zippered chest pockets, and abrasion-resistant gravel guards for Simms' most durable, fully featured waders.

G4Z for guides
As alaska hunting/fishing guides we live in our waders. The Simms G4 wader is considered “best of the best” wader in our opinion. They are hard to damage and easy to repair! E. Lucas Alaska Coastal Hunting

Good once, not now
Simms had a product and a focus once but it’s nothing now. Profit over quality and good luck finding a person to actually talk to should any issue arise

Still the best….
My 8th pair of Simms G4’s and they just keep getting better. New shoulder straps are a big improvement, these fit a little bigger than previous G4 Z’s so keep that in mind when ordering online.

High Quality Waders!!!
These waders are comfortable, fitment is great, and durability seems excellent! I used these in alaska on a float caribou hunt, and they withstood the beating of hunting and busting brush.

Great wader system. Love the zipper, pockets, and straps. Booties are a bit smaller than I would prefer for winter fishing in Colorado.

Zipper waders.
Been using these waders for about twenty outings since I've purchased them. No leaks from the zipper, or anywhere else for that matter.

Disappointed
These waders are half the thickness of the old G4’s, the shoulder strap system is less than desirable and there is no belt loop in the back

G4Z
Fantastic as usual I guide over 200 days a year and I’ve tried all of the companies and these are hands down the most durable waders … if your looking for the best waders that will last longer then the rest look no further
