They’re exactly what they look like. Used them to fish the Galveston flats.

Men’s Guide Fishing Pants
The Simms Guide Fishing Pants are hands-down my favorite for high alpine lake hikes. They’re lightweight, breathable, and incredibly comfortable on long treks through rugged terrain. I’ve bushwhacked, scrambled, and waded in them—and they never miss a beat. What really impresses me is how fast they dry. After a stream crossing or sudden downpour, they’re dry within minutes. No chafing, no soggy discomfort—just back to fishing or hiking. They move with you, hold up to abuse, and look sharp doing it. Whether I’m chasing trout at 11,000 feet or just enjoying the hike in, these pants are always the right call.

Great All Around Pant
Great pockets, comfortable, and can be worn in various temperatures. I’ve worn them on cooler overcast days as well as 80 degree sunny days. I almost find them to be a great in-between of the super light and challenger pant. What I like most about these is the water resistance and how quickly they dry. If rain is in the forecast, the guide pant is most certainly my top choice!

A favorite
I own three pairs of these. Great on and off the water. Perfect three season pant and wears well under my g3 guide pants. Dry quickly, with zero signs of use after wearing in a multitude of activities. Perfect for all day in and out of the yak floats, they’re dry before I take out. On blistering hot sun days north of 80 with a lot of humidity I prefer the ultralights. Great one two combination.

Guide pants and guide shorts
Love them. Fit well and of good guality. The only problem is that I’ve been trying to get the guide pant in slate color for 6 months and you’re always out of them.

Great Lightweight Fishing Pants
I was looking for fishing pants with a better fit than the typical small, medium and large. These are sized to fit without an elastic waistband, and in my case the 34 waist provides a much more comfortable fit without bunching.

Great Pants
These are great for boat or wading. Fast drying, comfortable fit, and come in a 34" length for taller folks like myself.
