First, I'll be completely transparent here: I love everything Simms produces, but their clothing has never really fit me very well as a true Medium wearer. Maybe I’m just weird. As such, I've always been a little skeptical about buying new clothes from them, especially expensive items like the Bulkley (retailing for $449). But this jacket fits very true to size and isn't a short jacket like some of the wading specific jackets out there. I like how they have improved on previous versions of this jacket by moving the sleeve cuff adjustable bands from the outside, where fly lines love to grab to the inside of the cuff. The Primaloft insulation is not only found on the interior of the jacket but the hood as well, a major plus in my book. And if you happen to fall in the drink with this jacket on, don’t fret, because it retains all of its insulating power when wet. Another smart feature of the new Simms Bulkley Jacket is that it has a dual draw cord system on the bottom sides. With a pull of one hand you can tighten it up and loosen down. I’ve never been a big user of any hood on any jacket, as it impedes my peripheral view and most are generally about as comfortable as a straight jacket. But with the combination of the Primaloft hood, uniquely tapered neck design, and the dual draw cord system allowing you to block out piercing chinook winds, I find myself wearing less winter hats in cold snaps and simply cinching the hood down over my ball cap if I get frosty. At first glance one might think that the Primaloft insulation is overkill on a rain jacket that already boasts Gore-tex, But I can vividly recall more than a few occasions during each guide season where I'd have paid much more than retail for that extra layer of insulating warmth, even in mid July when Montana is known to get its fair share of cold hail storms on otherwise sunny beautiful days. There really is no downside to the Primaloft. I’ve never once felt like I’m overheating wearing this jacket. We ship every business day: Monday through Friday, No weekends or holidays.
