Why We Like The G3 Guide Jacket
Whether you spend upwards of 300 days a year on the water or not, you want gear that won't let you down when you do get to spend some quality time on the river. With its three-layer GORE-TEX shell, the Simms G3 Guide jacket handles everything from drizzly days on the Olympic Peninsula to storm days in the Rockies. A burly 70-denier face fabric resists the wear and tear only a river can dish out, while its fully adjustable hood lets you hunker down when the rains fall on a slant. We appreciate how the water-resistant Dry Cuffs seal out water when you release your catch, and the myriad pockets along the front of the jacket give you a place to keep a couple of fly boxes close at hand.
