Simms Wader Warranty

At Simms, we stand behind the quality of our products. If your gear fails due to a defect in workmanship or materials, we’ll repair or replace it and get you back on the water as quickly as possible. Failures due to excessive wear, accidents (such as barbed wire or campfire damage), or natural material breakdown over time, we’ll make every effort to repair your gear for a reasonable fee.
