If you put a hole in your waders last season and haven’t gotten around to fixing it yet, you might be able to get it professionally repaired. The folks at Patagonia’s wader team are hitting the road this spring for their Wader Repair Tour, where they’ll inspect, diagnose, and repair waders, for free. And they don’t have to be Patagonia waders, either. Any brand is welcome at the events, which take place in Colorado, Montana, and Utah.
Each tour stop will also feature live patching demonstrations, maintenance tips, and the chance to connect with local organizations working to protect wild fish and clean water. Plus, you’ll get a sneak peek at Patagonia’s upcoming fly gear and enjoy organic refreshments from Patagonia Provisions.
