Simms Softshell Hoody

Photo: Simms Fishing Products

Ever since it was released, we’ve been huge fans of the Simms Windstopper Softshell Jacket. It’s comfortable, warm, provides some protection against anything other than hard rain, and is also a great looking jacket to wear around town.

But we love hoods! There’s nothing better than a hood to add a little warmth, protect against errant casts, and to add a little extra discouragement to those little flying friends that like to hang out near moving water. Besides, fishing with a hood up makes us feel just a bit more like Ed Ward.

We’ve been bugging our friends at Simms for years to do a softshell hoody, and now it’s here! The Windstopper Softshell Hoody is our new favorite jacket, on-river and off.

  2. […] It’s light, in a good way. There’s a lot of talk these days about who’s got the lightest rod in any given configuration, and after casting a few of them we quickly realized that weight is not the only variable that matters. There are some rods out there that weigh as much as your average toothpick, but have neither the feel nor the power that you want to actually…go fishing. This one is a great, light fishing tool.
