Product Care & Advice

For maximum lifespan of your waders:

- Hang to dry completely before storage
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
- Check seams regularly and repair minor damage promptly
How do I choose the right fishing line?
Selecting the perfect fishing line depends on:
