SIMMS Flyweight Wading Boot Review +update on the waders

[@604billyboy]

I love how light weight the Flyweights are, but after 3 seasons the side are looking rough. The soles and laces have held up great... done tons of hiking in them, in my mind very comfortable and overall happy with them, especially getting 25% off when they were on sale.

[@EdvinasUrbonas]

Nice. I hope to get one more season out of mine and then I’ll need a new pair 🙈😁

[@604billyboy]

@@EdvinasUrbonas same here they will definitely last me another year, after that I'll use them as a backup.

[@EdvinasUrbonas]

@@604billyboy I’ll probably try something else. BOA boot or flyweight access

[@robertlynn7332]

I'm a little concerned about the coating peeling off. I've got about 200-250 hours in my pair and they show no signs of unusual wear. You might want to contact Simms. That layer is supposed to protect the connection between the boot upper and the soul from wear- It isn't just decorative!

[@EdvinasUrbonas]

Well we might be doing different type of wading😁 I go true mud and all kids of staff a lot. That might be the reason

[@LAW-uv9xk]

I have used and abused these boots for three steelhead seasons on Steelhead Alley and the only thing I've had to replace is one set of laces. I will NEVER go back to heavier boots. These are extremely light and, in my experience, highly durable. Go a size up if you are fishing in colder weather so you can beef up your socks.

[@EdvinasUrbonas]

Yea, I think I'll get back to these boots when Im done with my new ones. I abuse them more but the lightness compensates everything... :)

Hi Great review on the Flyweight boots, I’ve got through 2 pair in the past 2 1/2 years, returned the first pair within the first 12 months, as the TPU coating had disintegrated. My latest pair TPU disintegrated, laces broke after 8 months, top fabric eye lace hole broke, stitching on the rear holding the finger pull had to be restitched. I’m in a real dilemma, these are without doubt the most comfortable boots I’ve ever had, don’t know whether to bite the bullet and have another pair OR try the new Access boots OR try the Orvis Lightweights. Real shame as they’re brilliant boots IF they would last longer. 👍🎣🇬🇧 * I fish at least twice a week, rinse the boots after use, left to dry in my garage.

[@EdvinasUrbonas]

Hey, thanks for your info✌️ I would definitely try something else in your spot. Access boots or the new Guide BOA (I held both of them in my hand and they didn’t felt that much heavier than the Flyweight boot). Orvis has some positive reviews too, so it’s up to you 💪😁 let me know what you ended up with and how it’s doing ✌️🤙

[@michaelbattin6717]

great info, you covered all my concerns

[@samuelwilson3461]

What spin rod is that you are using?

[@EdvinasUrbonas]

In this video or what I have in my possession?😁

[@manuelrega5046]

Hi! Have you seen or try the new flyweight acces boots? What do you think about its durability??

[@EdvinasUrbonas]

Hey, never had it in my hand, so can't comment on them :) But from the top of my head - I don't see why flyweight access would be more or less durable than Flyweight

[@manuelrega5046]

@@EdvinasUrbonas thanks for your answer, i have seen that the new acces boots dont have any toe cup.. thats a what make me think they may have less durability.. but i dont realy know..

[@EdvinasUrbonas]

@@manuelrega5046 I don't know too, all I know is that Flyweight boot is super comfortable for those long days :)

[@manuelrega5046]

@@EdvinasUrbonas thats for sure 💪🏾💪🏾

[@pa5482]

I had mine for over 7 years. Notnusing everytime though. They let in tons of gravel which is not so good for wading socks. I like them because of lightweight and good for mud walking.

[@forestshark59]

Thinking about buying the same waders :) what do you think, I'm 174cm and 78kg, should I go with the short or regular version?

[@EdvinasUrbonas]

I'm 180cm and M is long enough for me to squat, get on the knee, and so on... So I would probably go with short in your possition

[@michaelbattin6717]

really good info. thank you I tried the access flyweight today " I love them" The durability is a question I would enjoy hearing from anybody who has used them

[@EdvinasUrbonas]

No problem man :) after another ~200 hours (since this video) mine is almost dead... I can still take them to the shoemaker for repair but they don't look good. I hope they will serve me through the summer and I'll get a new pair (don't know what yet) for the autumn season.

[@РыбалкавЛатвии-в6е]

Hy did you now is it possible to get a boots same you have? In litvenia !

[@vandemonian5412]

great review - and yes I fully agree that we need 2 extra guides for the belt on the waders - are we the only ones who care? : )

[@EdvinasUrbonas]

Apparently we are 😁

[@ManAndRod]

Sveikas 🤝 Darai gerus video, taip ir toliau 💪🎣 As naudoju Guideline Alta 2.0 Wading Boots Vibram Sole. Zvejoju viena, du ar daugiau kartu per savaite. Atlaike beveik tris sezonus. Tai buvo mano pirmi wading boots, galiausiai suplyso tai nusipirkau tokius pacius dar karta. Neturiu su kuom palyginti nes kaip sakiau - tai mano pirmi. Kiekviena karta kai zvejoju, nueinu didelius atstumus upe ir krantu. Labai patogus - eidamas jauciuos kaip su paprastais batais ir vairavimui netrukdo.

[@EdvinasUrbonas]

sveikas, labai idomu, reikes pasidometi kas per daigtas ;)

[@Arvydas_M]

1) How many hours You expect From Simms waders to consider its done it's job and everything is fair and square? 2) Are You planning to spend the same amount of time during summer in small creeks chasing brown trouts?

[@EdvinasUrbonas]

If Waders does 400 hours without starting to leek - I'm happy 😁 plus I'm using them in the winter and that's more stress on em cause you're getting out of the water to the freezing cold. Don't know if I'll chase trout a lot in the summer but I'll definitely fish alot💪😁

[@MoaByte-v2z]

I appreciate this review and would buy these if I wasn't offen in deep mud, gravel, quicksand, sharp thorns etc. I don't fly fish, I hunt mosquito larvae. But those seem like great boots for clean mountain streams and makes me question my career choice.

[@EdvinasUrbonas]

Never to late for a change 😁😁

[@YTBEN1045]

They're light but look flimsy and like ordinary sneakers.. I like the previous simms wading boots. Although heavy, they protect your feet more and they'll last longer.

[@EdvinasUrbonas]

But these are way more comfortable

[@YTBEN1045]

@EdvinasUrbonas I will sacrifice a little bit of comfort for a more durable wading boots...I don't even really think of comfort when I'm fishing.
