My last waders finally gave up the ghost. So many leaks I could wring out my socks and parts of my pants.
Off of reading on here I went to the William Joseph outlet on 17th south in SLC. They have a room with used (but almost new) waders and other gear.
I tried a few on and found a pair that fit. They write right in the wader "as is." I am assuming so the new owner of the used waders can't try to make a warrenty claim. It looks like the waders that are warrenteed get sent to them and these waders get put in the used store. Then they send a brand new pair to the customer.
So these used waders are in various states of use but most are not bad at all. Some even look brand new.
I got mine home and found the leaks in short order by spraying the inside with rubbing alcohol. Patched them with UV Wader repair. Now after three trips they are once again water proof.
If you're looking for waders get in there and get some.
