okumasheffield Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Just noticed that SIMMS G4 series have large zippered hand warmer pockets while web surfing. Wonder why making zippered hand warmer pockets, the only thing I can come upp with is that those pockets might be warmer than others because it is one layer closer to the body (it is body -> hand warmer -> outer wader layer, instead of body -> outer wader layer -> hand warmer pocket) (Needless to say, it should be warmer than those on wading jackets as well) However, if the weather is so cold that you would use hand warmer pocket, wouldnt you wear a fishing jacket as well? If so, how do you access the hand warmer pockets on the wader other than leaving your jacket un-zipped? I guess the G5 jackets would have zippers to allow you stick your hands into 'wader hand warmer pockets On well, I am crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemper Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Wear warm gloves.... If you have the coin to be hookin up all this simms gear, go for it I guess. I rock $120 neoprenes and my snowboard jacket, and I stay warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLEX ROD Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Why make them with a zipper? You would be putting your cold hands into the hand warming pocket and first you have to get the zipper open and then you have to be carefull not to scrape your hands on the zipper. As was said already, get some gloves. FLEX - John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) I just stick those hand warmer packets in my wading jacket pockets. If I get cold, I put them in there for a few seconds and heat them up. One handed drifts!!! Edited January 15, 2009 by BillM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIFTER_016 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Why make them with a zipper? So you can store things other than your hands in there and not have it fall out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLEX ROD Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 So you can store things other than your hands in there and not have it fall out. Thanks, but I think that with my vest and jacket I have anough pockets for! All I am saying with a zipper and cold hands you can and you will scrape your hands on the zipper sooner than later!

okumasheffield Posted January 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Stop asking me questions as if I were the SIMMS designer ... Drifter does have a good point ... to use the zippered hand warmer as extra pockeets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
