onebadmofo 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2018 My wife just bought me some new waders for Father's Day, a pair of Simms Freestone Z waders. Can any one help me with the care of the zipper as to cleaning and maintenance. A friend of mine that Dives alot said to use a silicone bar to rub on the zipper occasionally to keep it sealing properly. I just want to make sure I care for the waders properly. The zipper is the YKK zipper these are new 2018 waders. Thanks for any help Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
