Simms Wader Size Guide
How to choose the perfect wader size
Body Measurements: Demonstrated in the video below, the following points define how to measure yourself for our products.
- Chest: Measure the widest part of your chest.
- Waist: Measure the smallest part of your waist, usually just above your belly button.
- Hips: Stand in a natural stance, measure the fullest part of the hips.
- Inseam: Measure along the inside inseam of your pants from the bottom of the crotch to the floor. If you don’t have a fabric measuring tape, use a piece of string or dental floss, then hold it against a ruler.
Start by determining the largest girth measurement. Then match to inseam and finally to stockingfoot bootie size. The two columns on the left (Simms Wader Size and Inseam Type) will inform what size wader you fit in. For more information on sizing, watch our Wader Sizing Video linked in the section below.
Please note that this is Simms full chart of size offerings, and not every wader comes in every size
