To maintain the performance of your Simms Flyweight Packable Wader, air dry thoroughly after each use, ensuring they are completely dry inside and out before storing. For washing, use a front-load washing machine on a gentle cycle with cold water and a specialized GORE-TEX friendly detergent or mild powder detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on a low heat setting to help reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish. Do not dry clean or iron. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
