I hang mine from the suspenderrs off my deck when I get home until they dry, then I roll them up and throw them in the trunk, I cross three streams on the way to and from work everyday. It's hard to just drive by them sometimes ;D
We were biting this morning, we were biting this morning, we were biting this morning......

My rubber waders stay in the Jeep, because they can
If the rule is 5 fish or 5 pounds, what if the 5th fish weighs 5 pounds?

Just like the tires on your vehicle, if the waders are rubber they are susceptible to dry rot when left stored for periods of time so I use a spray bottle of armor all or some other rubber protectant, and apply it to all the rubber before storing them. Trick is to keep air and sunlight (unless they need drying) away from them so put them in a black plastic bag and seal it after treating them and try to store them in 50 to 70 degree temps.

Hang them upside down in a dark place ans keep them from being creased and you should be all set ;)
