Not repairable unfortunately so its off to Simms.

U sure it's not the seams.Fold em inside out an give em a good inspection.I have repaired a few of my orvis waders at the seams.That area gets alot of abuse u should never pull ur waders on from the material on the top stretching the seam in the process.
i'm pretty sure u know this.just seams odd the neopreme would leak.


Skitter Pete sells waders why would u promote LL beans in a thread he started.i know ur only trying to help but i have seen alot of ur chiming in lately with product info that is in direct competition to alot of the sponsors here.???
