A sophisticated, high-performance trouser engineered to transition seamlessly from the technical demands of a day on the river to the relaxed comfort of a post-fish celebratory dinner.
The Simms Wanaka Pant is the ultimate "all-rounder" for the modern outdoorsman. Crafted from a durable blend of nylon and spandex, these pants offer the perfect amount of stretch for climbing over river boulders or crouching on a boat deck, while maintaining a sharp, structured silhouette suitable for travel. The fabric is treated with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish to shed light rain and boat spray, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable in unpredictable conditions. With a focus on utility that doesn't sacrifice style, the Wanaka Pant is a reliable choice for the angler who values gear that performs as well in the airport lounge as it does in the bush.
