Featuring a high-strength Ti Zip® Masterseal-10 centre-front zip, these waders offer quick and easy on/off access, a significant advantage during long fishing trips.

FAQs

How do I ensure the Ti Zip® Masterseal-10 lasts?

Regularly rinse the zipper with fresh water after use. Periodically lubricate the zipper teeth with a silicone-based lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper if it feels stuck, and ensure no fabric is caught in it.

What is the benefit of the reinforced lower section?

The thicker, reinforced lower part of the waders is designed to withstand abrasion from rocks, gravel, and rough terrain, significantly increasing durability and reducing the risk of punctures in high-wear areas.

Can I wear these waders without wading boots?

No, these are stockingfoot waders. They are designed to be worn with dedicated wading boots that fit over the stockingfoot to provide support, traction, and protection.

What does 'PFC-free CO DWR coating' mean?

PFC-free means the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating does not contain perfluorinated chemicals, which are often used for waterproofing but can be environmentally persistent. CO stands for 'Cyclic' or 'Chain' (referring to the chemical structure), and DWR is the water-repellent treatment.

Are the waders breathable?

The waders are made from T4™ fabric, which typically offers a degree of breathability. However, the reinforced lower section and the nature of waterproof materials mean breathability can be more limited compared to non-waterproof outerwear.

How should I clean the waders?

Rinse with fresh water after each use. If washing is needed, use a mild soap and hand wash. Always air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is difficult to open or close

Ensure the zip is clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of silicone-based zipper lubricant to the teeth and run the zipper up and down several times. Check that the fabric flap is not caught in the zipper.

Water seeping through the fabric

Inspect the waders for any visible tears or punctures, especially in the reinforced lower sections. If minor leaks are found, consider using a fabric repair patch or seam sealer. If the issue persists or is widespread, the fabric may be compromised.

Gravel guards are not fitting snugly

Ensure the stockingfoot is pulled up smoothly and the gravel guard is positioned correctly over your wading boot. Adjust the elasticated closure for a tighter fit.

Pockets are not waterproof

The front pockets are designed for water resistance, not full waterproofing. Store sensitive items like mobile phones in a separate waterproof pouch.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Convenient centre-front zip for quick on/off and relief.
Durable construction with reinforced lower legs.
Eco-friendly materials and PFC-free coating.
Comfortable fit with curved leg design and neoprene feet.
Practical features like gravel guards and accessory loops.

Cons

The centre-front zip requires specific care to maintain its sealing properties.
Reinforced lower section may affect overall flexibility for some users.
May be warmer than lighter-weight wader options due to reinforced fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These waders are designed for immediate use. Ensure you select the correct size for a proper fit. The stockingfoot design means you will wear wading boots over them. Always ensure the Ti Zip® Masterseal-10 is fully zipped and the protective flap is secured before entering the water.

Compatibility: The stockingfoot design is compatible with most wading boots. The accessory loops can be used with a variety of fishing accessories, such as retractors or tool holders.

Care: To maintain the integrity and performance of your waders:

Rinse thoroughly with clean, fresh water after each use, especially after saltwater exposure.
Hand wash with mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
Air dry completely, away from direct sunlight or heat. Do not tumble dry.
Store loosely rolled or hung in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding tightly, which can crease the fabric and damage the coating.
Zip Care: After rinsing, gently open and close the Ti Zip® Masterseal-10 a few times. Periodically apply a silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for zippers to ensure smooth operation and prevent sticking.
