Care for neoprene waders?
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?
