If you have Simms Gore-Tex breathable waders (start @ $199US) you can put
some rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle. Then turn the waders inside-out and
spray the suspected area. It turn dark purple where your pin holes are and
you then merely put a drop of Aquaseal on the spot.

Can you find the leak by holding the waders under water and looking
for bubbles?

My understanding is that waldo does this all the time, but he's not looking for
leaks. ;-)

This same technique works on Orvis Clearwaters and, I suspect, most, if not all
other brands of breathables. You have to do this before the waders dry
completely.
