Simms has found something awesome to do with all the excess material left over from wader making and repairs, creating tote bags, and we love the idea. It’s not that the bag is a piece of essential gear, but that it will keep gear organized while benefiting a great cause, the Deschutes River Alliance. The products were launched as a part of the Bozeman companies Giving Tuesday efforts and sold out nearly immediately. Luckily for folks eager to get their hands on one, Simms will continue to release new batches of the bags, with each supporting various conservation organizations.
