FAQs

What is the Toray QuadraLam fabric?

It is a durable, waterproof, and breathable fabric used in the upper and lower sections of the waders.

How do I clean my waders?

Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and hang to dry.

Can I use bleach on my waders?

No, do not use bleach as it can damage the fabric.

How should I store my waders?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

What if my waders get a puncture?

Use a wader repair kit to patch small punctures. For larger damage, contact Simms for repair options.

Are these waders suitable for saltwater fishing?

Yes, but be sure to rinse them thoroughly with fresh water after each use to remove salt residue.

What kind of boots do I need to wear with these waders?

These are stockingfoot waders; you will need to wear wading boots over the attached neoprene feet.

Troubleshooting

Waders are leaking.

Inspect the waders for punctures or tears. Small holes can be repaired with a wader repair kit. Check seams for damage.

Waders feel tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have the correct size. Adjust the suspenders and wading belt to find a comfortable fit. Consider layering options.

Gravel or debris is getting into boots.

Ensure the gravel guards are properly positioned over the wading boots to prevent debris from entering.

Waders smell after use.

Wash the waders according to care instructions. Allow them to air dry completely to prevent odor build-up.
