Great video, very helpful. Is it ok to use Granger 2 in 1 Wash + Repel to clean and re-establish water proofing or do I need the performance wash and DWR separately? I ordered the performance wash but received the 2 in 1 product instead. Is it ok to use on my waders?

Hey Johnny, Gear Aid is the company we recommend for zipper lubricant! You should be able to find it on Amazon.

How does Sitka recommend to store the wader at end of season?

[@SITKAGear]

Hey Brent, you can store them in our wader storage bag, the original box they came in, or hanging them by their boots in a dry place. We would recommend cleaning them before storage and making sure they are dry.
