Simms Headwaters Vest
The Simms Headwaters Vest is a high-performance technical fly fishing vest designed for anglers who demand excellent gear organization, comfort and durability during long days on the water. Developed by Simms – one of the world's leading fly fishing brands, this vest combines smart storage solutions with the quality and reliability expected from Simms.
Built from durable ripstop nylon fabric, the Simms Headwaters Vest is designed to withstand demanding fishing conditions. The lightweight polyester mesh lining improves breathability, while the padded spacer mesh shoulder construction provides additional comfort when the vest is fully loaded with fishing equipment.
The vest offers excellent organization for fly fishing essentials. Four lower pockets with flaps and quick-access pulls are specifically designed to accommodate C&F Design fly boxes, while four YKK® zippered pockets provide secure storage for different sizes of fly boxes and accessories.
The upper section features two elastic chest pockets with YKK® zippers, along with two low-profile magnetic closure pockets for quick access to frequently used items. One of these pockets includes an integrated microfiber cleaning patch for sunglasses.
For additional functionality, the Simms Headwaters Vest includes Velcro attachment panels for flies and accessories, internal storage pockets for smaller gear, a Third Hand rod holder and a D-ring for landing net attachment.
The large rear storage pocket provides additional capacity for bulkier items such as a jacket, water bottle or food, making the vest suitable for long fishing days and situations where carrying extra equipment is necessary.
