Patagonia is bringing its Wader Repair Tour back on the road this spring, offering free fixes for your busted waders, no matter the brand. If you have a pair with leaks, tears, or just some serious miles on them, this is your chance to keep them in the game.
If you are the type to think, I can make it one more season, consider this your sign to stop procrastinating. I don’t know if you’ve seen what it costs to get waders fixed, but it ain’t cheap. Free fixes are the best fixes.
Patagonia Wader Repair Tour 2025
The repair team will be stopping at fly shops and fishing events across Colorado, Montana, and Utah. While your gear is getting fixed, you can check out live repair demonstrations, pick up some pro maintenance tips, and meet with local conservation organizations.
Patagonia will also be showcasing upcoming fly gear. Patagonia Provisions will be on hand with organic snacks.
The Fine Print
- One pair per person. Keep it fair.
- Waders must be clean, dry, and turned inside out before you show up.
- Repairs are not guaranteed, but the team will do their best.
