To prolong the life of your waders, thoroughly clean them before putting them in storage. Pay attention to the seams and soles, too. Wipe the waders from the inside, if condensation has formed there. Dry and clean equipment should be stored unfolded. This will allow you to avoid creases and water damage by rodents and cockroaches. Drying in the sun and near heating appliances should be avoided. Protect the waders from the fumes of gasoline, kerosene, and other fuels and lubricants during storage.
