What makes Frogg Toggs Amphib Waders superior is the high front and back design that allows you to explore deeper water. This point also means you get extra protection from getting wet and dirty. The suspenders have an adjustable hook and loop attachment to ensure a nice, comfortable fit. Furthermore, no matter how cold the weather is, you’ll find your feet toasty wrapped by the bolstered booties. Thanks to the 200 grams of Thinsulate insulation!

"They fit well and keep me warm and dry. I bought these for surf fishing in the spring and fall but I have been using them while ice fishing and trout fishing in streams. they do the job very well. they are a little tall but I wear a sweatshirt or jacket and they fit just fine."

The Simms G3 Stockingfoot 2022 offers an even superior fabric, which includes the tried-and-true combination of a three-layer Gore-Tex membrane in the upper body and a four-layer configuration from the thighs down, where the majority of abrasion occurs. Moreover, the large zippered front pocket on the chest of this bootfoot stores all of your supplies such as pliers, nippers, and tippet spools. While we previously liked the fleece-lined hand warmer pockets on the predecessor, they’ve been given an upgrade by being able to seal them with zippers.

"I have been fishing in another brand for 25 years, and should have made the switch to Simms a long time ago. These waders are the real deal."
