Recycled Waders?

Rw
I have a stinky old pair of waders sitting in the corner of my garage. They are at least six years old, have thirty aqua-seal pin-hole repairs and really have no useful life left in them. For some reason though I couldn't bring myself to get rid of them. Until now.

Enter Recycled Waders. Patrick Jenkins who started the company after tearing a hole in the very first pair of breathables he ever owned called mom, cut and sewed up a fishing pack from the ruins and viola a new company was born.

Patrick has four products you can choose from. The Greenback wallet, Messenger Creel, Nook' Sack, and Big Fanny. I'm getting a wallet and a messenger bag and will let you know how they turn out.

So, while it'd be cool as hell to have a wallet or bag made from the fart catchers you've been waring the past couple of years don't hesitate to send them an old pair even if you don't need a new wallet or bag. You'll be doing your local landfill a huge favor.

Nice post, Tim!

Has anyone ever done any tests about the methane permeability of breathable waders?

tim romano

doubt it, but they should. I know it's absurdly low. I figure that should be the new frontier of wader development. Perhaps a charcoal seat...

Cole

I saw about this a couple of weeks back, what a great idea!

todd

romano: maybe "Scent-Loc" will come up with some waders in the future.

Fart catchers! LOL!

Hey blue have you heard of CLF???
Just type in Chicago land fishing .com and look around. If you fish any river or lake Michigan you can learn where to go and what to use from the pros. AWALYS listen to Ed the fox river moderator hes a master of the rivers around here.

That's some good stuff right there, Alex.
Was out at the Kankakee this morning and for some reason couldn't keep the channel cats off my spinner. (why are THEY hittin' my spinner?!) Kept one for my frying pan though.

Waders? Pffft.
Shorts and water shoes fit me fine in the 90 degree heat and 50 degree water. I generate fog when I'm out there!

Blue Ox

Fog?
Time to lay off the beans, Ev.
I'm all about shorts and shoes, though.
