And this is my honest review of both

Where I got them:

[pa]

I had mine for over 7 years. Notnusing everytime though. They let in tons of gravel which is not so good for wading socks. I like them because of lightweight and good for mud walking.

I love how light weight the Flyweights are, but after 3 seasons the side are looking rough. The soles and laces have held up great... done tons of hiking in them, in my mind very comfortable and overall happy with them, especially getting 25% off when they were on sale.

Hi Great review on the Flyweight boots, I’ve got through 2 pair in the past 2 1/2 years, returned the first pair within the first 12 months, as the TPU coating had disintegrated. My latest pair TPU disintegrated, laces broke after 8 months, top fabric eye lace hole broke, stitching on the rear holding the finger pull had to be restitched. I’m in a real dilemma, these are without doubt the most comfortable boots I’ve ever had, don’t know whether to bite the bullet and have another pair OR try the new Access boots OR try the Orvis Lightweights. Real shame as they’re brilliant boots IF they would last longer. 👍🎣🇬🇧
* I fish at least twice a week, rinse the boots after use, left to dry in my garage.

I have used and abused these boots for three steelhead seasons on Steelhead Alley and the only thing I've had to replace is one set of laces. I will NEVER go back to heavier boots. These are extremely light and, in my experience, highly durable. Go a size up if you are fishing in colder weather so you can beef up your socks.

I'm a little concerned about the coating peeling off. I've got about 200-250 hours in my pair and they show no signs of unusual wear. You might want to contact Simms. That layer is supposed to protect the connection between the boot upper and the soul from wear- It isn't just decorative!

I wade and walk 5 to 10km all day fishing streams and rivers. I just pick these up today as a second pair to try out because of your review, thanks.

Sveikas 🤝 Darai gerus video, taip ir toliau 💪🎣 As naudoju Guideline Alta 2.0 Wading Boots Vibram Sole. Zvejoju viena, du ar daugiau kartu per savaite. Atlaike beveik tris sezonus. Tai buvo mano pirmi wading boots, galiausiai suplyso tai nusipirkau tokius pacius dar karta. Neturiu su kuom palyginti nes kaip sakiau - tai mano pirmi. Kiekviena karta kai zvejoju, nueinu didelius atstumus upe ir krantu. Labai patogus - eidamas jauciuos kaip su paprastais batais ir vairavimui netrukdo.

I appreciate this review and would buy these if I wasn't offen in deep mud, gravel, quicksand, sharp thorns etc. I don't fly fish, I hunt mosquito larvae. But those seem like great boots for clean mountain streams and makes me question my career choice.

[michaelbattin]

really good info. thank you I tried the access flyweight today " I love them" The durability is a question I would enjoy hearing from anybody who has used them

1) How many hours You expect From Simms waders to consider its done it's job and everything is fair and square?
2) Are You planning to spend the same amount of time during summer in small creeks chasing brown trouts?

[vandemonian]

great review - and yes I fully agree that we need 2 extra guides for the belt on the waders - are we the only ones who care? : )

[YTBEN]

They're light but look flimsy and like ordinary sneakers.. I like the previous simms wading boots. Although heavy, they protect your feet more and they'll last longer.

[manuelrega]

Hi! Have you seen or try the new flyweight acces boots? What do you think about its durability??

[forestshark]

Thinking about buying the same waders :) what do you think, I'm 174cm and 78kg, should I go with the short or regular version?

[РыбалкавЛатвии-ве]
