So, one night I accidentally left my garage door open. I had my waders laying across the back of my boat drying. Some f'ing neighborhood cat came in and marked his territory on my Simms G3 waders, right on the belly of em. When I discovered it in the morning I immediately (cussing) got em into the sink, rinsed, and let em soak all day in the sink with mild dish soap in the water... fishing last weekend I could frickin' smell 'em while I was on the river. So, I just washed them in cold water in the front-load washer, per Simms care instructions, with bleach-free detergent. Can still smell it. I have them in the washer again, round two, this time with a healthy amount of baking soda mixed in with the detergent... I have a bad feeling they are still gonna smell.
Anyone ever have a stupid cat piss on their goretex waders? If so, ya ever get the smell out, and how?
I've had these waders for, idk, about 7 years and I love them... a few little aquaseal blobs to patch minor leaks, but they have overall been the best, most leak free waders I've ever owned. They fit perfect, and the articulated knees are awesome. And, man, I don't want to have to drop another $500+ for quality waders, and can't bring myself to go back to a lesser brand. Dan Bailey's bummed me out after I blew out three pairs way quicker than should have happened - got tired of returning them.
