Use Definition 

Fishing and Wading Activity: In the context of wader use, fishing and wading activities refer to the actions and movements involved in fishing while standing or walking in water, which may include short walking distances through wilderness terrain to gain access to water. .

These activities typically involve exposure to water, rocks, and other natural elements, which can impact the wear and tear on waders. Proper use and care are essential to maintain the durability and functionality of wading gear.

Repair Cleaning Requirements

Any wader submitted for inspection and repair must be clean and thoroughly dried; The repair center cannot repair a dirty wader. The center has the right to reject the repair if the wader is dirty and, in this case, it will be sent back to you for cleaning. Dirty waders are a biohazard to employees whom handle them since they contain human body oils and sweat and can grow microorganisms, fungus and bacteria. If the repair center deems it appropriate and necessary to clean the wader in part or in full, a $40-$60 cleaning fee will be charged, payable by the consumer, regardless of warranty status.
