FAQs

What type of footwear do I need with these waders?

These are stockingfoot waders, so you will need to wear them with separate wading boots. The integrated neoprene feet are designed to fit inside wading boots.

How do I clean the TPU waterproof pouch?

You can wipe the TPU pouch with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.

Are these waders breathable?

Yes, they are constructed from T4™ technical fabric, which is designed to be breathable while maintaining waterproofness.

How durable is the T4™ fabric?

The T4™ fabric is engineered for durability, and the lower body is woven with thicker material for increased robustness against abrasion and wear.

How often should I reapply the DWR coating?

The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. Reapply when you notice water no longer beads up on the surface of the fabric.

Can I machine wash these waders?

It is generally recommended to hand wash waders with a mild soap to preserve the fabric and coatings. If using a machine, select a gentle cycle with cool water and avoid detergents.

What does PFC-free mean?

PFC-free means the product does not contain per- or polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are chemicals often used in water-repellent coatings but are environmentally persistent. This product uses a more eco-friendly alternative.

Troubleshooting

Waders feel damp inside

Ensure waders are completely dry before storage. Check for small leaks or pinholes. Minor leaks can often be repaired with specialized wader repair patches or tape.

Gravel guards are not staying in place

Ensure wading boots are laced tightly and correctly. Adjust the gravel guard's tension if applicable, or check for wear and tear on the guard's elastic or closure system.

Water repellency is decreasing

The DWR coating may need reapplication. Clean the waders thoroughly and apply a PFC-free DWR treatment according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush and mild soap. Apply a wax-based lubricant or a specialized zipper lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are stockingfoot waders, meaning they feature integrated neoprene feet. To use them, you will need a pair of dedicated wading boots. Ensure your wading boots are compatible with stockingfoot waders; they should be snug enough to hold the neoprene foot in place but not so tight as to cause discomfort or restrict circulation.

Compatibility: Compatible with most brands of wading boots designed for stockingfoot waders.

Care:

  1. Rinsing: After each use, rinse the waders thoroughly with clean, cool water, both inside and out, to remove any salt, dirt, or biological matter.
  2. Washing: If washing is necessary, use a mild, non-detergent soap or a specialized wader cleaner. Wash by hand or on a gentle cycle in cool water.
  3. Drying: Hang the waders to dry completely, preferably indoors or in a shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight or high heat, as this can degrade the fabric and coatings. Ensure the inside is also completely dry before storing.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, loosely folded or hung to prevent creasing. Avoid storing in damp conditions.
  5. DWR Reapplication: Periodically reapply a PFC-free DWR treatment to maintain water repellency, following the product's instructions.
