From Patagonia:
If the River Runs Through ‘Em, We’ve Got You Covered
Patagonia’s Wader Repair Team is here to help. They’re going on the road this spring to inspect, diagnose and repair your waders (any brand) — free! They’ll also demonstrate in-field patch techniques and maintenance tips. You’ll have a chance to meet local organizations working to protect wild fish and clean water and get a sneak peek at some upcoming Patagonia fly gear. There may also be beer.
Here’s the Fine Print: Wader repairs are free. Yes, free. There’s no guarantee we can fix everything, but we’ll try. We’ll repair any brand of waders, but please, one pair per person. Waders must be clean and dry, and it helps if you turn them inside out before you get there.
