FAQs

Are these waders suitable for cold weather fishing?

The Vision Koski waders provide a waterproof and windproof barrier. For cold weather, layering appropriate thermal clothing underneath is recommended for warmth, as the waders themselves do not offer insulation.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the Vision sizing chart. Pay close attention to chest, waist, inseam, and shoe size measurements to ensure a proper fit, especially considering the neoprene stockingfoot.

Can I use these waders in saltwater?

Yes, these waders are suitable for saltwater use. However, it is crucial to rinse them thoroughly with fresh water after each saltwater use to prevent corrosion and salt buildup.

What is the advantage of PFC-free DWR coating?

PFC-free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coatings provide water resistance without using perfluorinated chemicals, which are known to be environmentally persistent and potentially harmful. This makes the waders a more eco-conscious choice.

How durable is the T4™ technical fabric?

The T4™ fabric is engineered for durability and comfort. Combined with the reinforced lower body, it offers robust protection against abrasion and wear in challenging aquatic environments.

Can I repair small leaks myself?

Minor pinhole leaks can often be repaired using specialized fabric repair kits or seam sealers designed for outdoor gear. For larger tears or seam failures, professional repair or replacement might be necessary.

What should I do if the TPU pouch is scratched?

Minor scratches on the TPU pouch usually do not affect its waterproof integrity. For significant damage that compromises the seal, replacement of the pouch might be considered.

Troubleshooting

Water ingress at seams

Inspect seams for damage. If minor, consider using a seam sealer designed for technical fabrics. For significant breaches, contact customer support.

Leaking through fabric

Check for punctures in the reinforced lower leg or general wear. Ensure DWR coating is still effective; reapply if necessary. If the fabric itself is compromised, repair or replacement may be needed.

Gravel guards not staying in place

Ensure gravel guards are properly tucked inside the wading boots and cinched around the boot laces. Adjusting the fit of the wading boot can also help.

Zipper on front pocket difficult to operate

Clean the zipper track with water and a soft brush to remove any dirt or grit. Lubricate with a zipper wax or silicone spray if needed.

Neoprene feet feel uncomfortable or ill-fitting

Ensure you have selected the correct wader size that accommodates your foot size within the neoprene sock. Try different wading boot combinations to find the best fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are stockingfoot waders, meaning they have integrated neoprene socks. You will need to pair them with separate wading boots. Ensure your wading boots are compatible in size with the neoprene stockingfoot to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. The built-in gravel guards should be tucked inside your boots to prevent debris from entering.

Compatibility: Compatible with most standard wading boots designed for stockingfoot waders. The universal design and accessory loops allow for attachment of various fishing accessories.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after each use, especially after saltwater exposure. Gently wash with mild soap and lukewarm water if necessary. Do not use harsh detergents or bleach.
  2. Drying: Hang to dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Ensure the inside is dry before storing.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, loosely folded or hung to prevent creasing. Avoid storing in damp conditions or compressed for long periods.
  4. Maintenance: Periodically inspect seams and fabric for any signs of wear or damage. Reapply DWR treatment if water repellency diminishes.
