If you're fishing the rocks or with time discover you are prone to destroying waders, which some fishermen do more then others - consider budgeting in a wetsuit to extend the life of your waders.

Use it in the sketchy places that tend to make your waders leak, weather permitting.

Warranties are nice, but being dry while fishing is nicer. Usually when I'm wearing waders I don't want to be wet (cold conditions for example) so I like to baby my waders as much as I can.

And since holes in your waders are like death and taxes, remember patching waders of any type is easy and effective as long as the leak isn't on a seam. A repair is usually cheaper and faster then the gas used to drive somewhere to return them or the cost of shipping them.

Aquaseal is close to permanent if applied properly and allowed to dry and UV activated glues are very fast and almost as permanent as Aquaseal. A UV patch (if you have a UV light handy, or the sun, which can be an issue for surfcasters) can literally be applied during the drive between spots. Good items to have around, and the UV stuff can be applied and cured in seconds.
