FAQs

Do I need to buy separate wading boots?

Yes, these are stockingfoot waders, which means they have integrated neoprene booties. You will need to purchase compatible wading boots separately.

How do I best care for the Ti Zip® Masterseal-10?

Rinse the zip with fresh water after each use and periodically clean it with a soft brush to remove dirt and salt. Lubrication with a suitable zip conditioner can help maintain smooth operation.

Are the waders completely waterproof?

The waders are designed to be waterproof and breathable. The Ti Zip® Masterseal-10 is a water-resistant zipper. Proper care and maintenance are essential to ensure continued waterproofing.

What does 'PFC-free DWR coating' mean?

It means the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating on the fabric does not contain perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), which are considered harmful to the environment.

Can I machine wash these waders?

No, machine washing and tumble drying are not recommended. Hand washing in cool water with mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Try on the waders with the type of socks you typically wear and inside your wading boots. Ensure there is no excessive tightness or looseness, especially around the legs and feet.

What is the purpose of the No Seam™ legs?

The curved No Seam™ design enhances the anatomical fit of the legs, reducing potential friction points and improving overall comfort and freedom of movement while wading.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate

Ensure the zip is clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of specialized zip lubricant or beeswax to the teeth. Avoid forcing the zip; clean and lubricate as needed.

Waders are leaking

Inspect seams and fabric for visible damage. Check the neoprene booties for punctures. For minor leaks, seam sealer may be applicable. Contact customer support for significant damage.

Gravel guards are not staying in place

Ensure wading boots are providing a snug fit over the booties and gravel guards. Check for any damage to the elastic or attachment points of the gravel guards.

Waders feel clammy or less breathable

Rinse the waders to remove potential salt or dirt buildup on the fabric's surface that can affect breathability. Ensure the waders are completely dry after use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are stockingfoot waders, meaning they come with integrated neoprene booties. You will need to purchase separate wading boots that are compatible with stockingfoot waders. Ensure your wading boots are the correct size to accommodate the booties comfortably without being too tight or too loose.

Compatibility: Compatible with any wading boots designed for stockingfoot waders. The accessory loops can be used with various fishing accessories such as retractors for nippers or forceps.

Care Instructions:

  1. Rinse After Use: Always rinse the waders thoroughly with fresh, cool water after each use, especially if used in saltwater or chlorinated water.
  2. Clean the Zip: Periodically clean the Ti Zip® Masterseal-10 with a soft brush and fresh water to remove any salt, sand, or debris that could impede its function. Avoid using harsh detergents on the zip.
  3. Drying: Hang the waders to dry completely, *inside out* first, then *right side out*. Ensure they are fully dry before storing to prevent mildew.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid folding the waders tightly; hanging them is ideal.
  5. Washing: If washing is necessary, hand wash in cool water with a mild, non-detergent soap. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
