Patching breathable waders.
Hi All,
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.

I was thinking about getting a pair of hodgman streamlite waders for
$80. I don't really want to buy a good pair yet, because I'm not sure
if I'm going to use them a lot (I'm torn between canoe fishing and
wading). My question is "How hard is it to patch them?" I can deal
with an occasional leak if I can fix it.
Same way you would patch a non-breathable-- Aquaseal for small tears and
pinholes.
Thanks!
Chuck.
