I bought a pair of G4-Z's a few years ago after watching a video stating that they would last three times longer than "ordinary" waders. That helped me justify the over $1, 000 Canadian price. While on a fishing trip, I stumbled and scraped a knee trying to keep up with the guide (note to other guys in their 70's - park your ego). Aquaseal got me through the rest of the season and I sent them off to Simms for a $60 new booties rebuild at the end of the year. To my utter disbelief, Simms sent me a new pair. This was after two seasons of use! If the pair they sent me ever wears out, I'm sticking with Simms.

Tried these compared to my old and to be honest nothing overly “new”. In fact my old ones feel a little thicker. I’m sure some simms rep or fanboy will say they’re a better fabric now but the old ones feel more puncture proof. I’ve played with some of the newer simms waders and they definitely puncture faster than my old.

Just got these. Best waders that I’ve had including several pairs of Simms, Patagonia, Reddington. More comfortable fabric, very streamlined. Love the suspenders

I remember paying $700 for my g4z waders back in 2010. Still working great!

[davehall]

Yes, I'm definitely going to upgrade
Just have to do a few more guide trip to have enough money

What is Ben's height and weight? It would be helpful when deciding what size would fit me best.

Thanks for the great review! Question: I've been trying to figure out what the red clip is on one of the shoulder straps on my G4zs. Do you know?

Should have lifetime, no question ask repair and replacement. I got the old old G4z, still working just fine, but out of the warrantee time.

The new ones now have a different cut of fabric between the legs. And it has become worse. It restricts movement.

Bought my G4 Zed in 2023 very annoyed that they bring out a new version straight after, reason I bought them is that Simms refused my Guarantee claim as the Guide waders I sent in had mildew on the inside, make the Guarantee a nonsense when after the event they qualify the conditions.

Heaven forbid my tippet or my waterproof fly box gets wet. Oh shit, my day is done!!!

Major Quality issues with G4Z. Bought 5-2024, had one replacement pair and 3 leaks with the replaced waders. Stay away. Good luck with customer service from Simms. Empty promises.
