FAQs

What is the advantage of the No Seam™ leg construction?

The curved No Seam™ design in the legs provides a more anatomical and comfortable fit, reducing potential chafing and improving freedom of movement when wading.

How do I choose the right wading boots for these stockingfoot waders?

Select wading boots that offer sufficient space to comfortably accommodate the neoprene foot of the waders without being overly tight. Good ankle support is also crucial.

How often should I reapply the DWR coating?

The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. A general guideline is to reapply when you notice water is no longer beading effectively on the fabric's surface, typically after several uses or washes.

Can I machine wash these waders?

It is generally recommended to hand wash or rinse the waders with fresh water. If machine washing is attempted, use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild soap, and always air dry.

What does 'PFC-free CO DWR coating' mean?

It means the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating is free from per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFCs), which are chemicals often used for waterproofing but can be environmentally persistent. 'CO' likely refers to the type of chemical group used in the PFC-free formulation.

What is the purpose of the built-in gravel guards?

Gravel guards are designed to prevent small stones, gravel, sand, and debris from entering the top of your wading boots and the stockingfoot part of the waders, enhancing comfort and preventing wear.

Are these waders suitable for cold weather fishing?

The waders themselves provide a waterproof barrier. For cold weather, you will need to layer appropriate insulating clothing underneath, such as fleece or thermal base layers, and ensure your wading boots provide adequate insulation.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping through the fabric

This may indicate wear on the DWR coating or a breach in the fabric. Ensure the DWR is maintained and check for any visible tears or damage. For minor wear, reapply a DWR treatment.

Leaking at the seams

Inspect seams for damage. If minor, seam sealing tape may be applicable, but significant leaks may require professional repair or replacement.

Gravel guards not staying in place

Ensure the gravel guards are securely fastened around your wading boots. Check for any damage to the elastic or attachment points.

Zipped pocket is stiff or difficult to close

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush and fresh water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax designed for zippers.

  • Excellent fit and reduced friction from the No Seam™ leg design.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These are stockingfoot waders, meaning they have built-in neoprene footies. You will need to pair them with separate wading boots that are designed to accommodate stockingfoot waders. Ensure your wading boots fit snugly over the wader feet to prevent slippage and provide ankle support.

Compatibility:

Compatible with all types of wading boots. The accessory loops can be used with various fishing tools like retractors, forceps, or nippers. The large front pocket and TPU pouch are suitable for storing common fishing accessories.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after each use. If necessary, use a mild soap and water solution for cleaning. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
  • Drying: Hang to air dry completely, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure the inside is dry before storing to prevent mildew.
  • Coating Maintenance: To maintain the PFC-free CO DWR coating, periodic reapplication of a DWR spray designed for technical apparel may be beneficial, following the product's specific instructions.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding or creasing the fabric excessively.
