Title: Vision Waders With Zip
Post by: Rabmax on June 28, 2013, 07:47:33 PM
Hello i have a pair of Vision waders the ones with the zip that i bought a short time ago.Do you need to treat the zip with anything to keep it in good working order.I have saw it mentioned that divers treat there zips with Bees Wax & other things to keep them good.I wasn't too sure about buying a pair of waders with a zip at first.But when you need a pee i am finding them worthwhile.Cheers All

I recently bought a dry suit from lomo.co.uk and also bought a tube of the recommended silicon lubricant for the zip, application depends on usage, maybe once every 4-6 trips.

I used beeswax on my dry suit zips - I think it's better than the silicon lubricant.  If you don't have a dive shop nearby then ebay is your best bet

I emailed Diver Dave you only need to give the zip a clean now & then to keep them working good.They are great waders all the seams sealed by Diver Dave.No leaks yet.Cheers
