FAQs

How do I clean my Wychwood waders?

Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after each use. Use a mild detergent and a soft brush to remove any dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals.

How often should I reproof my waders?

Reproofing should be done when you notice water no longer beads off the surface. The frequency depends on usage and care, but generally, once or twice a season is sufficient.

Can I use these waders in saltwater?

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

What should I wear under my waders?

Wear breathable, moisture-wicking layers. Avoid cotton, as it retains moisture. Consider thermal underwear for cold conditions.

How do I store my waders?

Store your waders in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Roll them loosely or hang them to prevent creases.

What is the warranty on Wychwood waders?

Wychwood offers a warranty against manufacturing defects. Check the product documentation or contact the retailer for specific warranty details.

How do I repair a small hole in my waders?

Use a wader repair kit that includes patches and adhesive. Follow the kit's instructions carefully. Ensure the area is clean and dry before applying the patch.

What is the hydrostatic head?

The hydrostatic head is a measure of a fabric's waterproofness. The Wychwood waders have a 20,000mm hydrostatic head, indicating a high level of water resistance.

Troubleshooting

Waders are leaking.

Check for any visible holes or tears. Repair small holes with a wader repair kit. Check seams for any damage. Ensure the waders are not over-stretched or stressed during use.

Waders feel damp inside.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate breathable layers. The breathability may be reduced in high humidity; consider using a desiccant pack when storing. Check for any leaks and repair them.

Shoulder straps slip.

Adjust the shoulder straps to tighten the fit. Consider using suspenders for added security.

Gravel guard detaches.

Reattach the gravel guard using wader repair glue. Inspect the elastic for damage and replace if necessary.
