I have a pair of 5 MM neoprene Cabela's waders that I've used since December 2006. Yesterday I got around to installing a hanger in my garage and have the waders hanging upside down. I knew this was a key care procedure for storage between seasons. I'm wondering if there are other kinds of care that I should be aware of. I read somewhere (ina book called "151 Waterfowling Tips" or something like that) that it was recommended to spray armor-all on rubber waders between seasons to help extend the life of the waders. I'm not sure this applies to modern neoprene waders. My garage is dry, but I live in Texas and in the summer my garage goes to the temperature of the outdoors, perhaps as high as 105 degrees in summer. I had heard it was best to keep the waders both dry and COOL, but my wife kicked up a lot of trouble when I tried to install the wader hanger in the closet. (I guess I should have installed first and asked forgiveness later rather than asking permission first!)
Any comments? What are other care prodedures I should be aware of?
I got this from the same question I asked LaCrosse..
Hello James,[/align][/align]Thanks for the email! We actually recommend you hang the waders, preferably if you can you should hang them by their boots with the top facing the ground to have them keep as long as possible. Hope this helps![/align]
Care for neoprene waders?
