Tips from the Pros

Equipment Maintenance: Waders

Overall, out-of-the-box quality for waders is at an all time high, but mistreated equipment will fail as quick as ever. Even with multiple layers and reinforced knees, all waders are susceptible to pinhole leaks and tears.

Avoid traversing barbed wire fences as much as possible. Also, take care when going over a downed log.

During hot summers, waders can turn quite odorous. Most wader brands can be machined washed with a mild detergent.

We suggest you let your waders air dry. You should also turn the waders inside out to completely dry the neoprene feet. Be sure to check with the manufacturer for specific cleaning methods.
