To be eligible for warranty, the defect claimed must be due to manufacturing defects in materials or workmanship; Drake Waterfowl is not responsible for normal wear and tear, nor failures caused by abuse, accidents, alteration, modification, misuse, or improper care.

How To File A Wader Warranty Claim:

If purchased directly from Drake, please visit the Returns/Exchanges/Warranty Portal to start your claim. You will need to have your original order number and other order details. You are responsible for charges related to shipping the waders to Drake. Drake will cover return shipping charge of the replacement wader to you.

If purchased from an authorized Drake dealer, please enter a ticket in the Drake Waterfowl Customer Service System to begin the process, using the name from your Warranty Registration. If your wader model is unavailable, we will offer replacement options, and any upgrades may require a fee. You'll receive a Return Authorization Number (RA#) to include on your shipment, which should be sent using a trackable service.
