FAQs
How do I choose the correct size?
Refer to the Patagonia size chart and measure your height and inseam. Consider the layers you'll be wearing underneath.
How do I repair a puncture?
Use a wader repair kit. Clean and dry the area around the puncture, apply the adhesive, and patch according to the kit instructions.
Can I use these waders without wading boots?
No, these waders are designed for use with wading boots. The stockingfoot design requires boots for protection and traction.
What is the benefit of the front zip?
The front zip provides easy entry/exit and allows for ventilation. It's especially useful in changing weather conditions.
How do I clean the waders?
Rinse the waders with fresh water after each use. Use a mild soap for spot cleaning if needed.
How should I store the waders?
Store the waders in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are completely dry before storing.
How do I maintain the front zip?
Occasionally lubricate the zip with a zip lubricant to keep it functioning smoothly.
What is the warranty on these waders?
Patagonia typically offers a warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Check the Patagonia website for specific warranty details.
Troubleshooting
Waders are leaking.
Inspect the waders for punctures or tears. If found, repair with a wader repair kit. Check the seams and zip for any damage and ensure zip is fully closed.
Difficulty zipping or unzipping the front zip.
Clean the zip and lubricate it with a zip lubricant. Avoid forcing the zip, as this can cause damage. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zip.
Condensation or moisture inside the waders.
This is normal, but excessive condensation may indicate a lack of breathability or that you are wearing too many layers. Adjust clothing worn underneath the waders. If it persists, check for leaks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Sizing: Ensure you select the correct size by referring to Patagonia's size chart, considering both your height and inseam. This is especially important for waders.
Layering: Plan for layering underneath. Waders work best with moisture-wicking base layers.
Wading Boots: These waders are designed for use with wading boots. Select boots that fit well and offer good support.
Entry: Step into the waders carefully, ensuring the stocking feet are properly aligned.
Zipping: Fully seal the front zip to ensure waterproof integrity. The YKK® Aquaseal zip is durable but requires proper closure.

Rinsing: After each use, rinse the waders with fresh water to remove dirt, salt, and debris.
Drying: Allow waders to air dry completely, avoiding direct sunlight or heat.
Storage: Store waders in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Cleaning: Spot clean with mild soap if necessary.
