I have a pair of Orvis silver label (?) light weight waders. I was
able to find a leak in the boot by compressing the latened air in the
leg down to the boot and submersing in water. I have a leak around
the knee area also. What's the best way to find it?? TIA

Tony

In a darkened room, try a shining a flashlight from inside the waders.

And make sure you take 'em off beforehand...

You might also try filling the leaky leg with water, or, if you have an
air pump, PSI/rate-controllable compressor (a portable car tire
compressor would work), hair dryer, a vacuum with a blower outlet, or
strong enough lungs, you can fill the leg with air and if you can't find
it in free air, submerge as you did with the other leak.
