Free Wader Testing with Patagonia
Leaky Waders? Bring your waders to the Patagonia booth at the festival for free wader testing. They will locate the leaks for you, even those tiny pinholes so you know exactly where the trouble spots are.
This service is open to any brand of waders. While we can’t repair them onsite, we’ll walk you through how to fix them properly at home.
It's also a good time to learn more about the Patagonia line of waders. It’s all about keeping your gear in action and reducing waste. Let’s give your waders a second life!
