great jacket
June 27, 2021
finally have a sometime with the simms challenger jacket (L). size fits like an XL, very roomy with a hoodie underneath. weather conditions are southern cali, does get cold by our standards but with the wind resistance and water repellency this jacket keeps you dry. I would buy again or any of the simms products.

for size comparison i’m 5’10” 195lbs, 36 waist.

Disappointed and VERY WET
September 14, 2020
Purchased this jacket for surf fishing, was very surprised when caught in heavy rain and discovered not only was I wet inside out but the jacket actually held in water between the layers. granted the jacket works well in light rain but I didn't expect it to hold in water and provided no protection at all during heavy rain.

Received my jacket in only 4 days to Ireland. Very comfortable and dry jacket perfect for fly fishing the loughs from a boat.
Pros
  • High collar which is good to keep out the weather and the hood can be manipulated to suit your head shape to give a good tight seal.

Great jacket for cold and wet weather
February 19, 2020
I bought this jacket for fishing Northern California all year. Works great in January with a sweat shirt and sweat pants underneath. In the warm weather I just wear a light fishing shirt and pants and that’s it. Super lightweight and stays dry.
Pros
  • Fits well true to size. Lightweight

Dry and Warm!
February 16, 2020
I was very impressed with this item. It keeps me warm and dry. I do layer underneath. For me, it fits slightly large. However, it was XL and I am approx. 225 lbs. It probably would fit someone much larger than me. Regardless of the size, I am very happy with the quality of construction.

Perfect for Windy Cold Days

Looking for that outerwear layer to stop the wind from cutting through you look no further. Pairs great with the boat bibs.

Rugged Jacket
February 5, 2020
Heavy duty, well seam taped and good range of movement.
Pros
  • Simms quality.
  • Pockets placed well and lined.
  • Interesting collar / hood system.
Cons
  • Collar is awkward when not used for foul weather, I can envision the wind slapping it into the face if you have it open.
  • Jackets fit at least a size bigger than marked! I wear a large in all brands, but had to exchange my large for a medium...fits great though.

Too Large
February 2, 2020
I am 6'1" and 210 pounds. I own and wear a lot of Simms jackets, shirts, layered wear, waders etc and all in Size XL. I put on this jacket and it was way too big. I could add 3 layers underneath and it would still have been too big. The sleeves were so long that the cuffs reached the knuckles on my fingers.

Cons

This jacket does run true to size if you usually go a size up then choose the large.
