Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These waders are designed as a stockingfoot system, meaning they are compatible with separate wading boots. Ensure your wading boots are properly fitted over the neoprene stocking feet. The gravel guards should be secured over the top of your wading boots to prevent debris entry.
Compatibility: The Vision Koski Grey Zipped Stockingfoot Waders are compatible with most standard wading boots. The Ti Zip® Masterseal-10 is a robust zipper designed for water use; ensure it is clean and free of debris for optimal function.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your waders:
- Rinse: After each use, rinse the waders thoroughly inside and out with fresh, cool water. This removes salt, sand, dirt, and any other contaminants.
- Clean Zipper: Pay special attention to cleaning the Ti Zip® Masterseal-10. Gently wipe it with a soft cloth and fresh water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or brushes on the zipper.
- Drying: Hang the waders to air dry completely, both inside and out, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Ensure the zipper is fully open for proper ventilation.
- Storage: Store the waders loosely in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding them tightly or storing them under heavy objects, which can damage the fabric or crease the zipper.
- Repairs: For minor punctures or tears, use a dedicated fabric repair kit for waterproof breathable materials. For zipper issues, consult the manufacturer's recommendations or a professional repair service.
