Repurposed Waders

Where old waders find new purpose.

We’re proud to share that Repurposed Waders, the official 501(c)(3) nonprofit arm of Maine Fly Company, has launched its brand-new home online — RepurposedWaders.org.

Repurposed Waders was born from a simple idea: keep old fishing waders out of landfills and give them a second life. Through creative recycling, we transform retired gear into new goods — from totes and stashes to apparel, accessories, and more — all crafted with purpose and built for those who care about the waters they fish.

We’re excited to announce that you can now visit RepurposedWaders.org to learn more about our mission, shop the collection, donate your used waders, or get involved as a volunteer. Every action — big or small — helps us continue reducing gear waste, supporting education, and protecting the waters that make this lifestyle possible.

This isn’t just recycling — it’s river stewardship in action.
Because when waders live on, so do the waters we love.
