....all this that has been said, I am extremely hard of boots and gauntlets and do not get more than 1.5 years out of hip boots regardless of what care I take of them.

Despite Coonman, My lifelong creek trout fishing buddy stored his cheap as dirt hip waders in a freezer in his garage. Only used them for a few weeks in early spring and summer then washed and put back in the freezer. When he ran across some cheap Pro Line hip boots he bought a couple pair and in the freezer they went. After he passed away, he left me his belongings and guess what was in the bottom of freezer.....Yup new hip waders in a box in a garbage bag, receipt was 3 years old. So yeah Coonman you rub them down with Fluid Film and stick them in the attic, should work fine for you.

Doesn't matter what anyone says. He is not going to listen. Don't know how long you want cheap boots to last. You get what you pay for. And it was said to hand them in a dark area.

This is what I do also, but make sure you are buying quality boots.

I bought the cheap waders last year, not a lot of water trapping here really most of mine is through the ice so I buy the cheaper one we don’t have rats for several years until the water comes back often so why buy what you don’t need, hand them upside down keep the away from electric motors that will break down rubber.

Have you ever considered buying a real good pair of waders, then using the Dan's you got a few years ago, more often in the early season?

You might not believe this, but I've had a pair of the black Lacrosse hip boots (with the felt in the foot area) for nearly 20 years. When they leak, I take them to a tire shop and have them patched. They aren't pretty, but they don't leak and I will wear them again this fall. These are the only hip boots I own. Remember....buy cheap....you get cheap.

Well, he did get them at a bigger dicks store. If you stuff enough newspaper in them they should stand by themselves.
