- Like death and taxes, it's a certainty that waders are gonna leak. So what do you do? Tom Rosenbauer shows you a couple innovative techniques for easily finding leaks without filling the waders with water and then shows how to easily repair leaks so that your waders will be back to keeping you dry . You'll learn how to repair seam leaks, big tears (like from barbed wire), and small pinhole leaks that result from wear. Don't throw away a pair of waders just because they leak! Either fix the leaks yourself or send them off to a professional repair service like the one Orvis offers.

I've been repairing my waders for decades. The way to find pinhole leaks is to rub the inside of your waders with a cotton ball or towel soaked with rubbing alcohol. Leaks will turn dark. You circle them with a marker, and then repair with Aquaseal or even Loon UV sealant, which dries instantly and lasts years. Leaks in neoprene require the more exhausting methods of detection.
How about patch work how would I seal a small tear in the knee area
Great content
Very helpful. TY.
great instruction
My old Orvis waders need all the seams fixed. I did the foot part, but have been putting off the legs and crotch area. I'm surprised there aren't more places out there that "rebuild" waders by fixing the seams as I bet that is where most of the leaks occur.
I have new Orvis pro waders, after 3 days of fishing water is pushing through the material on my right foot. at the height of the shoe covers. no visible damage, almost new.. can I repair it like in the video? or send it in directly under warranty? I think it's a manufacturing problem, built at the point where the transitions are and the material is 3-4 layers.
I would send them in since they are under warranty.
I recommend your next pair of waders comes from simms… I know it’s a little strange to say that but simms has never failed me and I do a ton of bushwhacking when I fish
how about seam leakage?
Had Simms.
Next wadders will be Orvis.
Does Orvis only repair Orvis?
