Open for suggestions. Stored on a shelf and motor oil leaked about a quart that soaked in. So far washed at carwash with highpressure engine cleaner/soap--not working. Soaked in industrial strength citrus degreaser and washed in hot water. Rinsed and rinsed. Took almost all the oil out. May need to repeat citrus cleaner. Go to Academy and buy new?

Soak and saturate with Dawn dishwashing liquid. It seems to work great on animals that get trapped in oil spills...LOL. Seriously- I had the same problem, and used Dawn. It worked good.

Well, they should repel water now that's for sure..
I like the dawn suggestion... but i'd be a little worried of smell to the fish (of the oil the dawn doesn't get out). maybe not though.. but i'm fishing for big fish and I wouldn't want anything against my odds.
Go get some breathables at Academy... you can where them all year and they are way more comfortable.. in the cold winter, just use some fleece pants when it get's really cold.

x10 the Magellan Mag2 (99$) or Mag3 (129$) waders are great for the price if you can't (won't) drop the 400$ on some G3 Simms - although Backwoods has them on sale for 279$, only in M, L, XL-short - FYI.
