FAQs

What type of boots do I need for these waders?

You will need wading boots designed for stockingfoot waders. These are separate from the waders themselves and should fit over the integrated neoprene feet.

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

Regularly rinse the zip with fresh water after use. Periodically clean it with a soft brush and apply a specialized zipper lubricant to ensure smooth operation and longevity.

Are these waders suitable for cold weather fishing?

The neoprene feet provide some insulation. For very cold conditions, you will need to wear appropriate thermal layers underneath.

What does 'PFC-free DWR coating' mean?

It means the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating on the waders is made without perfluorinated chemicals, which are considered harmful to the environment.

Can I machine wash these waders?

It is not recommended to machine wash these waders. Hand washing with fresh water and mild soap, followed by air drying, is the best method for care.

How durable is the T4™ fabric?

The T4™ fabric is designed for durability, and the lower section of the waders is further reinforced to withstand abrasion and wear from rough terrain.

What is the purpose of the No Seam™ leg design?

The curved No Seam™ design contours to the natural shape of the leg, providing a better fit, reducing potential friction points, and enhancing overall comfort during movement.

Troubleshooting

Front zip is stiff or difficult to close/open.

Rinse the zip thoroughly with fresh water to remove debris. Ensure it is dry, then apply a small amount of specialized zipper lubricant. Check for any fabric caught in the zip teeth.

Waders feel damp inside despite being dry externally.

Ensure the waders are completely air-dried inside and out before storage. Hang them in a well-ventilated area and check the inner seams for moisture.

Gravel guards are not staying in place.

Ensure your wading boots are securely laced and providing enough tension to hold the gravel guards down. Some boots have lace hooks specifically for this purpose.

Water seeping through the fabric.

Inspect the fabric for any visible tears or punctures, especially in the reinforced lower section. Contact customer support if the fabric integrity is compromised, as re-waterproofing may be needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Convenient front zip for quick relief and easy on/off.
  • Durable construction with reinforced lower section and T4™ fabric.
  • Environmentally conscious materials with PFC-free DWR coating.
  • Comfortable fit due to curved leg design and neoprene feet.
  • Practical features like gravel guards and accessory loops.

Cons

  • Front zip requires careful maintenance to ensure longevity.
  • May be bulkier than non-zipped wader models.
  • Specific cleaning instructions may be necessary for the zip.
  • T4™ fabric, while durable, may have a different feel than other materials.
  • Stockingfoot design requires separate wading boots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are stockingfoot waders, meaning they come with integrated neoprene socks. You will need to pair them with separate wading boots designed for stockingfoot waders. Ensure the boots fit snugly over the stockingfeet to prevent bunching and provide adequate support.

Compatibility: Compatible with most wading boots designed for stockingfoot waders. The accessory loops can be used with various fishing accessories like retractors or small net clips.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, rinse the waders thoroughly with fresh water to remove mud, salt, and other debris. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for any stubborn dirt. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
  2. Drying: Always 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.
  3. Zip Care: Periodically clean the Ti Zip® Masterseal-10 with a soft brush and fresh water. Applying a specialized zipper lubricant designed for wetsuits or waders can help maintain smooth operation and prevent corrosion.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding them in ways that crease the fabric excessively, especially around the zip. Hanging is ideal.
