Simms Superlight Fishing Shirt: REVIEW

Another Simms report:

I was able to find a new Simms Superlight fishing shirt for very cheap on the internet, so I went for it. The shirt is incredibly lightweight, and the material not only dries in a matter of minutes, but also protects against the sun. The two zip pockets on both sides are perfect for storing all the needs without carrying a vest: I loaded up strike indicators, splitshot, fly floatant, snips, my container of mucelin and a box of flies in there. It was some of the most comfortable fishing I've ever endured . . .waders, boots, and a fishing shirt (no vest or pack).

I soaked the shirt up continuously, and it really did dry in minutes. This is a very comfortable shirt, and did not cause overheating in 90+ degree weather last weekend. It is breathable, and is constructed with vents in some of the seems. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a high quality shirt and great for utility purposes. If you see anyone in a bright orange shirt of this sort, it's me! They come in a variety of colors, some very drab, and others a bit more vibrant.

Torrey, when is Simms gonna take my poster-picture for the ads??? ;D

Dr. Rave -

Not if, but WHEN you get hooked by Euro-nymphing techniques, you will have to put something else in those pockets because you will be leaving your shot, mucilin and indicators in your gear bag!

So you went for the "stealth" orange color, eh? That's good, because you need to give the trout a fair chance to not get caught by you, and I think you should add in a blaze orange hunting hat so they can really see you coming from a long distance away.

Dave, I think the reason Simms doesn't have you as their posterboy is because you obviously must be secretly on their payroll, what with the 100% glowing reviews you give their products. If they made it public knowledge that you secretly are getting paid by them, it would destroy all your internet "street cred".
