Funny how that death-march would double in length on a foggy night.
Last few times I used my waders, I think was during a snow storm...so I'm way out the loop in regards to new and upcoming,
When they
were heavily used, they'd get hosed down 97% of the time, and then hung to dry...a habit I had to start early on and tried never to give up on, leaving that 3% for those nights that the fish wouldn't stop biting or started biting late, those were the nights that nothing got washed, ... End of the season, they'd get dunked in a 7 gal. warm-soapy bath-bucket, maybe a day or two. Try to get the stank out, and some soapy-scent in. Didn't really work on the waders, but in my head, it made sense, so I stuck with it. Similar to what linesider82 said, no scrubbing nor abrasives, only hose-strength water was used, and never on the seams...just a thorough flush.
Bob, if they don't leak straight outta the box, which happens sometimes....the best waders out there, are the ones that you treat with care and respect. It's the seams that got me most of the time...I had to reteach myself on climbing over and thru rocks, trying hard not to pull on the seams while stepping over and around things...of course all this goes out the window when you're getting pounded off your perch, then it's your safety first, waders last.
Those caddis look decent, but it may be because Spence is modeling them?? Good Luck ~
...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
