My most recent fishing trip confirmed a suspicion I have had from my prior trips; my waders have a leak. And not just one leak, both legs have leaks in the knees, right on the edge of a taped seem. I have some Orvis breathable waders with reinforced knees, but these leaks are from wearing on the inseam on each knee, I guess from rubbing while walking. Basically about 2 inches of weakened fabric. I filled them up in the shower to find the exact spot. Thankfully the waders have a repair kit so I applied some heat tape on the inside of the weak area. Hopefully that will do the trick. Guess I’ll find out soon enough
. Thankfully, these were pretty small repairs.
Fun with wader repairs
