FAQs

What is the main advantage of the TiZip® Masterseal-10 zipper?

The TiZip® Masterseal-10 zipper provides exceptional water resistance and offers a significant convenience factor, allowing for quick relief and easier donning/doffing of the waders compared to traditional designs.

Do I need to buy wading boots separately?

Yes, these are stockingfoot waders, which means they come with integrated neoprene feet. You will need to purchase compatible wading boots to wear over the stockingfeet.

How do I clean the waders?

Hand wash with cool water and a mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and hang to air dry completely away from direct sunlight. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, and fabric softeners.

What does 'PFC-free DWR coating' mean?

PFC-free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating means the waders are treated with a water-repellent finish that does not contain perfluorinated chemicals, which are considered more environmentally friendly.

Are these waders suitable for saltwater fishing?

Yes, the TiZip® zipper is designed for both freshwater and saltwater environments. However, it is crucial to rinse the zipper with fresh water after saltwater use to maintain its performance and longevity.

How durable is the reinforced lower section?

The lower section is intentionally made thicker and reinforced to provide extra protection against abrasion from rocks, gravel, and other underwater obstacles, enhancing the overall lifespan of the waders in demanding conditions.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to open/close

Rinse the TiZip® zipper with fresh water. Ensure no debris is caught in the teeth. Apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant and work the zipper back and forth gently.

Waders feel damp inside after use

Ensure the waders are completely dry before storing. Hang them to air dry thoroughly, both inside and out, away from direct heat or sunlight.

Gravel guards are not fitting securely

Adjust the elasticated portion of the gravel guard and ensure your wading boots are laced tightly over the top of the wader's neoprene foot and the gravel guard.

Minor leaks or punctures detected

Clean the affected area thoroughly. Use a wader repair patch kit according to the product instructions. For larger issues, contact customer support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Convenient and quick on/off due to the TiZip® zipper.
Durable construction with reinforced lower leg sections.
Eco-friendly materials and PFC-free coating.
Comfortable fit with curved NoSeam™ leg design.
Practical features like gravel guards and multiple pockets.

Cons

The TiZip® zipper requires specific care to ensure longevity.
Stockingfoot design means separate wading boots are required.
May be more expensive than standard waders without a zip.
The grey color might show dirt more readily in some environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are stockingfoot waders, meaning they come with integrated neoprene feet. You will need to pair them with compatible wading boots. Ensure the wading boots fit snugly over the neoprene feet for optimal support and to prevent the waders from riding up.

Compatibility: Compatible with most wading boots designed for stockingfoot waders. The TiZip® zipper is designed for saltwater and freshwater environments, but regular rinsing is recommended.

Care Instructions:

Zipper Care: After each use, especially in saltwater, rinse the TiZip® zipper thoroughly with fresh water. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove any debris. Occasionally, apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant to ensure smooth operation. Avoid forcing the zipper if it feels stiff.
Washing: Hand wash the waders in cool or lukewarm water with a mild, non-detergent soap. Do not bleach or use fabric softeners. Rinse thoroughly.
Drying: Hang the waders to air dry completely, preferably out of direct sunlight. Ensure they are fully dry inside and out before storing to prevent mildew.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding the zipper area sharply. Hanging is ideal.
Repairs: For small punctures, use a specialized wader repair patch kit. Refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for specific repair instructions.
