I usually soak mine and then hand clean them. Although when I say usually I mean perhaps 4 times in the several years I've owned them...
It's also been suggested to me that you dry them in a clothes drier on a warmish setting because it helps the little hairs on the surface stand up again. The hairs help to repel water and stop wetting out. That Gore-Tex reviver spray basically reapplies the little hairs to the surface. I think you can chuck retreated Gore-Tex in the drier although last time I did it I used a hair dryer. You can see the surface change when you apply heat, it's quite interesting :-).
Regards,
Jo
Never had a pair of waders this long. Mine leak like mad before the season is out.
I reckon rather than washing just buy a new pair every year or maybe twice a year.
