Simms Fishing Products was founded in 1980 by veteran fly-fishing guide John Simms. After decades of providing clients life-changing adventures, John realized that the gear available at the time was not up to the job of keeping his clients comfortable, safe, and dry out on the water. So he began creating products worthy of a new generation of anglers who, like him, wanted to get out on the water earlier and stay out longer in any weather. Fast forward to today and Simms is recognized as the only manufacturer of high-quality, Gore-Tex, fly fishing waders based in the USA and a global leader in the fishing industry that employs more than 180+ at its headquarters in Bozeman, Montana.
