Heavyweight warmth, breathable stretch, and cold-weather comfort built for long days outside.
The Simms Highline Hoody is built for cold mornings, winter fishing sessions, and long days outdoors when lightweight layers simply aren’t enough. Its substantial 350 gsm waffle-knit fabric traps warmth while maintaining the stretch and moisture management needed for active days on the water.
A textured waffle-knit face helps cut the chill, while the smooth interior moves moisture away from the body and stretches naturally through casting, hiking, rowing, and everyday movement. Whether worn as a warm standalone fishing hoody or layered beneath a weatherproof shell, the Highline delivers dependable cold-weather performance without feeling restrictive.
The Highline hits a useful middle ground between a traditional fleece and a technical fishing layer. The heavyweight waffle knit provides legitimate warmth, but the stretch and moisture-wicking construction keep it far more functional during active fishing than a bulky sweatshirt.
We especially like the fitted hood, taller collar, and extended thumbhole cuffs. Those small details provide noticeably better coverage on cold mornings and make the Highline easy to layer under a fishing jacket without excess fabric bunching up.
350 gsm Heavyweight Waffle-Knit Fabric - Substantial warmth for cold-weather use
High Collar - Added warmth and protection around the neck
Smooth Interior - Provides next-to-skin comfort and moisture-wicking performance
Cold-weather insulation is only useful if you can still move comfortably. The Highline Hoody combines a heavyweight knit construction with 3% spandex, giving the fabric enough stretch to follow every cast and stride.
The waffle-knit structure creates additional loft for warmth while remaining breathable enough for active pursuits, making this a versatile choice for fly fishing, camping, hiking, boating, and other cool-weather outdoor activities.
A fitted three-panel hood provides close, comfortable coverage without excessive bulk, while a Lycra-stretch opening helps hold the hood securely in place. The raised collar adds another layer of protection around the neck when temperatures drop or cold wind picks up.
Extended cuffs with integrated thumb holes increase hand and wrist coverage and help keep the sleeves in place when layering beneath jackets or rain shells.
The Simms Highline Hoody is a warm, heavyweight waffle-knit fishing hoody designed for anglers and outdoor enthusiasts who need dependable insulation without sacrificing breathability or mobility. With its 350 gsm stretch fabric, moisture-wicking interior, fitted hood, high collar, and thumbhole cuffs, it makes an excellent cold-weather fishing layer for fly fishing, camping, hiking, and outdoor use.
