Default Finding the leak in breathable waders.

Send them back and let Hodgeman find it.

I returned three pairs of them before asking for a refund. I found that
using them for long submersion periods was not a good idea. I bought a
cheap pair of neoprenes and then saved money for high quality gore-tex
breathables. Those have not leaked in three years and I fish well over 150
days a year in rivers and float-tubes.

I have a very small leak in my hodgeman breathable waders, the leak is
in the breathable material area, not the neoprene. I tried spraying
rubbing alcohol but nothing turned purple. I tried shining a
flashlight but that didn't work either. I also tried holding the
waders under water to see if air escapes but no luck. The only thing I
can think of is to use the whole tube of aquaseal and cover a large
area to make sure I hit the leak.

Any suggestions?
