The jacket seems ok but the Classic pockets are not the same. The inside vest pocket is way smaller and the outside hand pockets are not nearly as deep. Had I known that I would have ordered something else. The outside breast pockets are good and seem to match up with the original jacket that I have from 2006.

Men’s Guide Classic Wading Jacket
This is my second jacket. It’s the best rainwear I’ve ever had. I wear 2X so I have plenty of room to layer. Plus then the sleeves are longer to keep hands warm. Wear it everywhere. Great product and I highly recommend!!

Wading Jacket
Similar to Simms Gore-Tex wading jacket I had for seven years which worked very well. Unfortunately I lost it so purchased this as a replacement.

Men’s Guide Classic Wadding Jacket
I’ve been a fishing guide for 40 years and have had several of these Jackets. There the best for about 2 years if you use them in a harsh environment for 100 days a year. But when it finally comes the day you have to wash them even with the proper gore-Tex soap it’s over they start leaking every time. But I will by them over and over.

Great Waterproof Top Layer
I wear this jacket over a Barbour Bedale jacket when it is cold and wet. Even though the Barbour is a wax jacket it is not as waterproof as this one and its pockets are not as useful. I have had a SIMMS Guide Jacket for ten years. It is still in good shape but my wife keeps wearing it so I bought a new one. In design it is the same. Good big pockets on the front which takes fly boxes and other gear you need. The side pockets are good for warming a hand. The material is a little stiffer than the earlier one but that is not a problem.
