Meet the Simms Confluence Stockingfoot Waders

For any angler, the quest for the ideal waders is akin to the search for the Holy Grail. Enter the Simms Fishing Confluence Stockingfoot Waders. Designed for the most discerning fishermen who employ every possible technique, the Simms Confluence Waders epitomize the fusion of rugged durability with a sense of mobility that feels almost unrestricted. 


By employing Simms' cutting-edge 4-layer polycarbonate Toray technology on the lower half and a stretch 4-layer Toray on the upper half, these waders ensure maximum abrasion resistance without compromising movement.


Functionality? Check. 


The adjustable spacer air-mesh suspender system boasts a fabric suspender divider and an integrated webbing attach point, perfect for net carry. Cold hands after a catch? The zippered, reach-through micro-fleece lined chest pocket will ensure your fingers stay warm and agile. 


For those who like to have their tools within easy reach, the tool docking stations built into integrated loop patches are a godsend. Additionally, a flip-out tippet tender pocket is permanently attached, ensuring you have ample storage for your essentials.



More than Meets the Eye


 Beyond the impressive surface features, Simms has incorporated the TORAY DHB, their most advanced fabric lamination process that utilizes a distinctive hybrid polycarbonate coating. This creates a bond with select face fabrics and a soft tricot backer, making the Confluence Waders not only durable but also breathable. 


The MICROBAN ANTIMICROBIAL feature further enriches the user experience by inhibiting the growth of odor-causing bacteria. And the cherry on top? These waders come with a guarantee: 60 days for wader replacement due to leaks, 365 days for free leak repairs, and a minimal charge for most repairs after a year.



Care Tip: Simms waders, built from either GORE-TEX or Toray, demand consistent care for longevity. Always dry your waders after each use, both internally and externally. And remember, the frequency of washing—be it annually, bi-annually, or tri-annually—depends on usage. If exposed to saltwater or salt air, rinse with fresh water and dry post-use. At the end of the day, taking care of your waders is akin to caring for a prized possession.
