My waders are leaking. What do I do?Updated 4 hours ago

Do not retire them, and do not reach for the aquaseal yet. Our in-house repair team fixes leaks every day, and repairs are typically back in your hands within 7 to 10 business days.

Start your repair

  1. Email [email protected] or call (901) 869-1766.
  2. Tell us the size and pattern, what is going on, and send photos if you can.
  3. Ship your waders to our Memphis repair department using the instructions our team provides. For covered warranty issues, we send a prepaid label.

A note on finding leaks

Leaks are not always where the water shows up. Our team pressure-tests waders on arrival to find the actual failure point, so you do not need to locate or mark the leak yourself. If you know roughly where it is, a note inside the box helps.

Wondering if your leak is covered? Manufacturing defects are covered for the life of the waders. Punctures and tears from use are not, but we repair those too. See What does the Chêne wader warranty cover?
