FAQs

Do I need to wear boots with these waders?

Yes, these are stockingfoot waders, which means they have integrated neoprene socks. You must wear separate wading boots over the stockingfeet for support, protection, and traction.

How do I clean the Ti Zip® Masterseal-10?

Rinse the zipper with fresh water after each use. Periodically, use a soft brush to clean the teeth and apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant for smooth operation.

Are these waders suitable for cold weather?

The neoprene feet offer some insulation, and the T4™ fabric provides a good barrier. For very cold weather, layering appropriate thermal undergarments is recommended.

Can I machine wash these waders?

Yes, a gentle machine wash cycle with cool water and mild detergent is acceptable if necessary. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, and always air dry.

What is the purpose of the reinforced lower section?

The lower section is made thicker and more durable to better withstand abrasion from rocks, gravel, and other underwater hazards, increasing the waders' lifespan.

How should I store my waders when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place. Hanging them is the best method to avoid creasing the main zip and fabric over time.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Rinse the zipper thoroughly with fresh water and a soft brush. Apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant. Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth.

Water ingress or leaks

Inspect seams and the zip area for damage. Check for punctures in the fabric. Small holes can sometimes be repaired with specialized wader repair kits.

Gravel guards not staying in place

Ensure the gravel guards are pulled taut and securely fastened over the top of your wading boots. Check if the elastic or lace mechanism on the guard is worn.

Fabric feels clammy or less breathable

The DWR coating may need refreshing. Consider using a waterproofing treatment designed for technical outdoor gear. Ensure you are not overheating by layering appropriately for the conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are stockingfoot waders, meaning they require separate wading boots. Ensure your wading boots fit snugly over the neoprene feet for optimal support and comfort. The gravel guards should be secured over the top of your boots.

Compatibility: Compatible with any sturdy wading boots that can accommodate the stockingfoot design. The accessory loops can be used with various fishing tools like forceps, zingers, or landing net clips.

Care:

  1. Rinse after use: Always rinse the waders with fresh, cold water after each use, especially after exposure to saltwater or chlorinated water.
  2. Clean the zip: Periodically clean the Ti Zip® Masterseal-10 with fresh water and a soft brush to remove any silt or debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for zippers to ensure smooth operation.
  3. Drying: Hang the waders to dry completely, preferably indoors and out of direct sunlight. Avoid using high heat, as it can damage the fabric and coatings.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding them tightly in a way that creases the main zip excessively. Hanging is ideal.
  5. Washing: If washing is necessary, use a gentle machine wash cycle with cool water and a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach. Always rinse thoroughly and air dry.
