Also, pinhole leaks (if they're real small) on breathable waders feel a lot like clammy waders which makes them difficult to diagnose.

The rubbing alcohol trick can help you ID any tough to spot leaks though, at least on Gore-Tex products. For other fabrics, I'd be careful with the alcohol trick, check with the maunfacturer first.

The best sort of hole in your breathables is something caused by a hook because you can easily see it and repair it.
