FAQs

What is the main benefit of the T4™ technical fabric?

The T4™ fabric is designed for durability and comfort, incorporating an eco-friendly, PFC-free DWR coating for excellent water resistance while minimizing environmental impact.

Do I need to buy wading boots separately?

Yes, these are stockingfoot waders, which means they have integrated neoprene socks. You will need to purchase compatible wading boots separately to wear with them.

How often should I reapply the DWR coating?

The frequency of reapplication depends on usage. If you notice water is no longer beading up and rolling off the fabric, it's time to clean the waders and reapply a DWR treatment.

Can I machine wash these waders?

It is not recommended to machine wash these waders. Hand washing with a mild, non-detergent soap and thorough air drying is the preferred method to preserve the fabric and coating.

What is the purpose of the No Seam™ leg design?

The curved No Seam™ design on the legs enhances the natural fit and articulation, reducing potential friction points and improving comfort and mobility for the wearer.

How do I properly clean the TPU waterproof pouch?

The TPU pouch can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Ensure it is completely dry before storing your devices inside to prevent moisture buildup.

Are these waders suitable for cold weather fishing?

The specialized neoprene feet provide some insulation. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to wear appropriate thermal base layers and wool socks underneath to ensure adequate warmth.

Troubleshooting

Waders feel damp inside after a fishing trip.

Ensure the waders were dried completely before storage. Minor condensation can occur, but significant dampness may indicate a need to re-evaluate drying procedures or check for small leaks. Rinse and air dry thoroughly.

Water repellency of the DWR coating has decreased.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating naturally wears off over time. You can restore water repellency by cleaning the waders and then applying a DWR re-treatment spray or wash specifically designed for technical outdoor gear. Follow the product's instructions carefully.

Gravel guards are not fitting snugly.

Ensure you are using compatible wading boots and that the stocking foot is properly seated within the boot. Adjust the lacing of your wading boots to ensure a snug fit around the ankle and top of the boot, which helps secure the gravel guards.

Zipped pocket is stiff or difficult to open/close.

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a brush and mild soap. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or zipper wax to the teeth to improve smooth operation. Ensure no debris is trapped in the zipper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are stockingfoot waders, meaning they have integrated neoprene socks. To use them, you will need a pair of compatible wading boots. Ensure the boots are designed to accommodate the stocking feet and provide a secure fit without pinching or excessive looseness. Lace up your wading boots securely before entering the water.

Compatibility: The Vision Koski Grey Stockingfoot Waders are designed to work with most wading boots. The stocking feet are typically sized to fit comfortably within standard wading boot sizes. Always check the sizing guide provided by Vision for the best fit.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your waders:

  1. Rinse: After each use, rinse the waders thoroughly with clean, cool water, especially after saltwater or heavily soiled use.
  2. Clean: If necessary, wash with a mild, non-detergent soap. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fabric and the DWR coating.
  3. Dry: Always air dry the waders completely, both inside and out, before storing them. Hang them from the feet or use a wader hanger. Avoid direct sunlight or high heat, which can degrade the fabric and coating.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid folding them tightly for long periods; hanging is preferred.
