Simms Vapor Boot Review

Simms vapor boot review.

Simms in my opinion was extremely successful in accomplishing their mission. 1 after using simms vapor wading boots for the past 2 years i was excited to see that simms has updated their line up and replaced the vapor with the flyweight boot flyweight wading boot rubber sole simms fishing products according to the specs the flyweight is about 10oz lighter than the vapor so i just had to give them a try. Rock solid and looking good. Because simms has positioned hiking lugs around the outside of the sole the area covered by the wading lugs is diminished relative to other boots in their lineup.

Product description if you rarely stay in one fishing hole for longer than twenty minutes and prefer to move fast on the river while you fish turn to the simms men s vapor boots. That s a big deal for a guy like me. The verdict quick drying and ultralight the simms women s vaportread boot excels at long approach hikes and cold water angling. Designed with simms vaportread platforms the vapors deliver trail ready and wading ready performance for the adventurous angler.

In truth they ve got a hint of sneaker about them they re pretty cool. The rubber could be stickier for underwater traction. It is designed to be a durable lightweight boot that is equally at home on the hiking trail as it is in the water. They feature support in the right places without the pressure points frequently found in other wading boots.

This was the third time i wore them and while i was impressed after my first two trial runs this was the first full day i fished in them ten hours zero discomfort. June 8 2015 the simms vapor felt bottom wading boot at just 1 5 pounds per boot is one of the lightest wading boots on the market. Those were the words i literally said out loud as i removed my simms vapor boots last week. There is a considerable amount of diversity in the world of wading boots.

They look different to other wading boots slightly shorter on the ankle and a little more stylish than could usually be expected from a fishing boot. Simms alone has 10 different boot models for men with other manufacturers also offering a mixed bag of options. The simms vapor boot is a product that had caught my eye since their recent release. And although it might not seem like it at first glance most of this diversity is meaningful.

The result is a sole that can be a bit slippery especially if you step on a rock with the outside edge of the sole.
