When summer turns technical—wet wading, scrambling banks, jumping in and out of the boat—the Guide Short steps up. Designed with the same on-the-water DNA as Simms’ guide-proven pants, this short delivers uncompromising mobility, durability, and fast-drying performance where it matters most.
Engineered specifically for anglers, the Guide Short uses a water-shedding, stretch-woven fabric that moves naturally, dries quickly, and protects against intense sun exposure. Purpose-driven pocketing, secure fit adjustments, and drainage-focused construction make it a reliable choice from trailhead to tailout.
