I really don't know which one I want now, Simms Or Aquaskinz.
I have to agree with Bill on the Simms at the bait shop with who
knows who trying them on.

simms pocket drain
 

dz the simms top does have a drain hole at the center of the large pocket. i just happened to notice it today as i was drying mine after washing it off in the shower. it's not finished with metal like a gromet, just an area that they didn't stitch closed so that it would drain.

by the way i use 3 skinz surf bags including the large and medium and think they are the best on the market, but there is no way i would buy their top

You get a wet and cold head. :mad:
Love my Simms so far but a hood would be good. :conf:

The simms is nice, good choice

a wet and cold head leads to this :yak4: :yak4: :yak4: :yak4:

and I dont like that :bounce:

Yup, had wet/cold head today and I don't like... :yak4:

My simms top is better than yours dave, way better and you know it :nopain:

Lets not argue this point, lets just leave it at that, Mine is wayyyyyyyyy better :rotf2:

I had mine bfore you had yours , its broken in and has more fish slime on it, its simply better,better, better




"DON'T MESS WITH ME OR I'LL ARGUE WITH YOU ON THE INTERNET!!!! "


Thems fighting words dave.MINE IS BETTER, MINE IS BETTER, MINE IS BETTER

Yeah right..Prove it ya Bum.

my 0.02; I have the original black Skinz that I got from a friend about midway through the season. I fish pretty hard and had ZERO problem on it, and I'm not all that anal about care of my gear. I use dry suits alot at work, I guess I'm used to putting on the neck seal and crist cuffs etc.., but I have no splitting or damage; granted I dont have ogre wrists like Nebe, but I'm not a small guy either...
just my 0.02; however the simms do come in better colors which is very important to some of you to match your waders

Like my sig..HUH? :rotf3:

True though..Isn't it? :rotf2:

Bob, go try both on. It's the only way you're going to tell.

The EVOII feels constrictive but may keep you more dry if you are dunked...

The Simms has some nice features like a waterproof pocket and a chest pocket. I've never had any water in mine, but I try not to swim in it either.

Either one will bake you when it's humid.

I wouldn't worry about the companies, they are both top notch.

What i use......can't say enough good things about it.

I use the brigg model......got a hood and neoprene cuffs

Only downsides is they get hot in the summer........and a bit stiff in cold weather.

How about one of those Grunden Sou'wester rain hats, the ones that look like an old style fireman's helmet?

In warmer weather, I wear an old Surfcaster waterproof ball hat, or the Lamiglas oilskin cap that's getting mildewed in the back of the Jeep :D

Mike, next you will be telling me to smoke a pipe :rotf2:

I like hoods....

Anyway guys in all fairness, Kadir called me at home tonight and told me there was a bad batch of the gloves and he is trying to make the best of it.He also stated that it was a stiching error not of his fault which I understand.

He is also sending me a new pair no questions asked with the fixed stiching. If the company is that dedicated to its customers then I respect and admire them and wish them the best!!

He did not have to call me at home but did anyway! I appreciate that and the fact that every customer is important weather they buy a pair of gloves or a top of the line surf top! :claps:

I wish him continued success !!

Just to let you know, I went up to my neck today (purposely) with my Simms on, stayed dry and it kept me very bouyant, kinda like a balloon full of air. I was impressed. The pocket stayed dry too, although I wasn't submerged for more than a few seconds.

Actually Brian I wanted a stealthy black top like the one you have - not the sky blue/turquoise whatever color my Simms Top is - but Simms doesn't make one. I would have it dyed if I was not afraid it would get ruined.

Joe, try layering a pima cotton sweatervest over the Simms top. It will achieve the sleek styling you're after, but won't impeed breathability or freedom of movement.

If the neckline is cut low enough, you'll even be able to reach your waterproof pocket :hee:

Better for you than those cancer sticks :D :rotf3:

In good weather, you can top off the outfit with a tweed snap brim cap. Goes well with a pipe. Or maybe one of those Sherlock Holmes hats :rotf2:

Of course, once you go that way, can the Land Rover be far behind? : :uhoh:

Scotchguard your head - water just beads up and rolls off - no worries.

well, I cant argue the cancer stick point you have me there !! I really wish I could quit!!

Land Rover??? NEVER............. :yak4: :yak4: :yak4:

That's what you said about a boat :rotf3:

nope I am a pick up guy all the way ! Love my GMC And just dont like sport utes. Withy the pickup everything stays out of the cab especially with a cap on it, no smells, no water...etc.............

Stealth is where it's at... :D

yup, next year its a VW BUG :bl:

That I'd like to see....
Like the old stories of the block; where the locals painted their trucks flat black so you couldnt see where they parked...
Maybe I'll go Cammo green...
or strip my racks off and cover it with bumper stickers so I look like one of the party kids parked at XXXXXX

Go with camo green--it breaks up the outline better than solid black. Black stands out too much against a dark background :bgi:

91 civic crx...
 

That's my ride... doesn't get much stealthier than that.

I use the EVOII - love it so far!
