Simms Challenger Waterproof Fishing Bib and Braces - Black

Yes, the Simms Challenger bibs are designed to provide a waterproof and windproof outer layer. For cold weather, layer appropriate thermal clothing underneath.

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.

The bibs are constructed from durable polyester, offering excellent waterproofing and breathability.
