Patagonia Wader Testing Day - Saturday May 30th, 2026
Join Patagonia for their very first on-site wader testing event in Calgary at Fish Tales Fly Shop on Saturday May 30th, 2026. Bring your leaky breathable waders to the shop between 10 AM and 4 PM and have them tested in front of your eyes by Patagonia's wader experts. The team will locate leaks and mark them for you, making your spring DIY breathable wader repairs that much easier!
Wader testing is free, and waders of all brands are welcome. No matter the manufacturer, Patagonia's experts will test your waders for leaks. If you're on the fence about repairing or replacing your waders, this event is a great opportunity to evaluate your options with industry pros.
Please note that only breathable waders can be tested at this event and full neoprene waders won't be accepted for testing. Patagonia's testing machine is set to the PSI specifically for testing breathable waders and will not sufficiently inflate neoprene waders.
