What is it?
Simms Challenger Jacket and Bib
What sets it apart?
Two lining layers ensure complete waterproof protection, while breaking that demoralizing windchill in these fully-tapered garments. The Challenger jacket is well-designed with a stowable 3-point adjustable hood, storm flap, adjustable cuff, fleece-lined pockets and dual draw-cord adjustments.
Anglers will appreciate the Challenger Bib’s hand-warmer pockets, zippered chest pocket, thigh pocket with reinforced plier sheath, adjustable suspenders and knee-high leg zippers for easy on and off. Jacket and bib are available in fury orange or black.
How do I use it?
The Challenger lineup features Toray fabric technology — the same waterproof, breathable material developed for use in fishing waders. This QuadraLam fabric is engineered with a microporous waterproof coating that utilizes a 2-layer coated fabric, a single membrane layer and a tricot backer for optimal durability.
Simms bolsters its outerwear durability with Little Parts from YKK Fastening Products Group; specifically nylon zippers, which minimize corrosion and promote high performance and durability.

Angler’s insight:
Just in time for the fall season, these outerwear items appear to offer a good balance of wind/rain protection and lightweight comfort that you won’t mind wearing all day. Whether it’s fun fishing or tournament time, the elements can become as much of an opponent as the fish; so a functional jacket and bibs can make a huge difference in your day.
Even between showers, warming outer gear keeps you in fighting form, while convenient pockets keep tools, spare baits and terminal tackle conveniently accessible.
