Product Information

Full details

These Vision Koski Grey Zipped Stockingfoot Waders are designed for anglers seeking enhanced comfort and convenience during long fishing sessions. The primary benefit is the high-strength Ti Zip® Masterseal-10 center-front zip, offering quick relief and easy donning/doffing. A potential caveat is the specialized zip, which may require specific care to ensure longevity. Constructed from eco-friendly T4™ fabric with a PFC-free DWR coating, these waders feature a durable lower section, curved 'No Seam' legs for a better fit, built-in gravel guards, and neoprene feet.

FAQs

What type of boots should I wear with these stockingfoot waders?

You should wear wading boots specifically designed for stockingfoot waders. These boots provide support and protection and are designed to fit over the stockingfoot part of the waders.

How do I maintain the Ti Zip® Masterseal-10 zipper?

Rinse the zipper with fresh water after use. Periodically clean it with a soft brush and apply a specialized zipper lubricant to keep it functioning smoothly and prevent corrosion or stiffness.

Are these waders breathable?

Yes, the waders are made from T4™ fabric and feature a PFC-free CO DWR coating, which contributes to breathability while maintaining water repellency.

Can I machine wash these waders?

It is not recommended to machine wash these waders. Hand washing with fresh water and air drying is the preferred method to preserve the fabric and waterproofing.

What does 'stockingfoot' mean?

Stockingfoot waders have integrated soft booties (like socks) made of neoprene or similar material. You wear separate wading boots over these booties for support and protection.

How durable is the reinforced lower section?

The lower section is intentionally made thicker and reinforced to provide enhanced durability against abrasion and wear, common in rough wading environments.

What is the benefit of the 'No Seam' leg design?

The curved 'No Seam' leg design is intended to provide a more anatomical and comfortable fit, reducing chafing and allowing for greater freedom of movement while wading.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and fresh water. Apply a small amount of appropriate zipper lubricant along the teeth and slide it back and forth to ensure smooth operation. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Waders are leaking.

Inspect seams and fabric for visible damage, cuts, or punctures. Check the integrity of the zip and neoprene feet. For minor leaks, use a wader repair patch kit. For major leaks, contact customer support.

Gravel guards are not staying in place.

Ensure the elasticated band of the gravel guard is snug around your wading boot. Check for any damage to the band. If persistent, consider using boot laces or straps to secure them further.

Waders feel damp inside after use.

This could be due to sweat (condensation) or a potential leak. Ensure the waders are completely dry after washing and before storage. If a leak is suspected, perform a leak test as described in the care section.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These waders are designed for direct use. Ensure the Ti Zip® Masterseal-10 is properly aligned and fully closed before entering the water. The stockingfoot design requires pairing with suitable wading boots (not included).

Compatibility: Compatible with most wading boots designed for stockingfoot waders. The accessory loops can be used with various fishing clips and retractors.

Care:

Cleaning: After each use, rinse the waders thoroughly with clean, fresh water, both inside and out, to remove dirt, salt, and other residues. Allow to air dry completely, preferably out of direct sunlight. Avoid using harsh detergents or solvents.
Zip Maintenance: Periodically clean the Ti Zip® Masterseal-10 with a soft brush and fresh water to remove any debris. For optimal performance, apply a zipper lubricant specifically designed for diving or marine zippers (follow lubricant manufacturer's instructions).
Storage: Store the waders loosely folded or hung to prevent creasing, especially around the zip. Ensure they are completely dry before storage to prevent mildew.
Repairs: For minor punctures or tears, use a patch kit designed for waders. Consult the manufacturer for advice on repairing the Ti Zip®.
