Simms Tributary Stockingfoot Waders - Simms

Rinse the waders with fresh water after each use to remove dirt and debris. Use a mild soap if needed. Allow them to air dry completely, inside and out, before storing.

Choose moisture-wicking base layers made of materials like polyester, nylon, or merino wool. Avoid cotton, as it retains moisture and can make you feel cold.

It is not recommended to use a washing machine. Hand washing is the best method to ensure you do not damage the waders. Excessive agitation and heat can damage the waders.

Use a wader repair kit that includes patches and adhesive. Clean and dry the area around the puncture. Apply the adhesive and patch according to the kit's instructions.

Simms offers a warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Details can be found on their website.

Store waders in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing them compressed or folded for long periods.

If the seams are leaking, contact Simms customer service for assistance. They may offer repair or replacement options depending on the issue and warranty.

Inspect the waders for punctures or tears. Small holes can often be patched with a wader repair kit. For larger damage, contact Simms for repair or replacement options.

Ensure you're using appropriate layering. Avoid cotton and opt for moisture-wicking materials. Consider adding a fleece mid-layer for extra warmth.

Adjust the elastic bottom hem and ensure the gravel guards are snug around your wading boots. Consider using a small safety pin or garter clip for added security.

Ensure you have the correct size. The waders are designed to be worn with wading boots, which should provide support. If the issue persists, consider using wader socks for added comfort.
