| Simms Freestone Streamtread |
It
seems more and more people are getting concerned about
transporting unwanted critters from one body of water to
another via waders and boots. Many states have special
laws concerning the use of felt soled boots in various
waters. New Zealand actually went "felt free" as
of 2008. For 2009 Simms is leading the way for the
move from felt soles to Vibrim soles in their new
Streamtread line of wading boots. The Freestone
Streamtread is a nice low cost wading boot that uses a
Vibrim sole instead of felt. All reports from
field testers indicate that the Vibrim sole actually out
performs standard felt soles. With less area for
critters to hide on the sole the Streamtread sole will
help slowdown the spread of invasive species into your
favorite waters. stop by the shop to check out
these new boots or
order yourself a pair online.
The Tilley Hat
fits more comfortably than other hats. It’s designed to
be worn low on your head and slightly loose. It should
be held on by gravity, not by painful pressure on your
forehead! For the proper fit, you should be able to
easily insert two fingers, flat, between the middle of
your forehead and the front of the Hat. The Hat should
be loose enough that you can rotate it to the left and
right, and lift it up and down, without friction on your
forehead. When it’s windy, use the cord!
