General Wader Care

SIMMS waders are all built from a durable breathable fabric. Whether that is GORE-TEX® or Toray®, the care that should be taken is the same.

Waders should be dried after each use, both inside and out. Simms understands that certain situations do not allow for time to fully dry between uses. It is the expectation that this circumstance will contribute to a potential shorter lifespan.
Breathable fabrics are porous in nature and can collect dirt, oils from the skin and other environmental substances. Regular cleaning of waders is a key contributor to their lifespan.

Depending on the number of days used, annual, bi-annual or tri-annual washing is recommended.

Exposure to salt water or salt air requires special care: The waders must be rinsed thoroughly with fresh water and dried after each use.

Do not store inside your car for long periods of time. Excess heat will damage your waders.

Always put your waders on using a protective mat to shield the neoprene feet from rocks. SIMMS makes the perfect companion for your waders, the SIMMS Taco wader storage bag and changing mat. The Taco Bag zips completely open to provide an ideal changing surface. When you’re done fishing, you can store your damp waders in a ventilated bag such as a Simms Taco Bag.

When you get home, you can hang your waders to dry thoroughly.

Regular washing helps maintain the waterproof, breathability of your waders. Wader fabrics are actually micro porous, allowing body moisture to move outwards while preventing water from coming in.
