leaking waders
#3
What Browntrout said is a great way to find a leak. But as an alternative you can flip your waders inside out run a hose or pour water down the leg and see were the water is squirting out. Most likely if there breathable waders with neoprene socks the sock has a pin hole leak.

Once you have found the leak Aquaseal is a great way to seal it up. Also they have iron on patchs that work well.

Also how old are your waders ? Older wader say 3 or 4 years or more are susceptible to condensation the top layer of dwr treatment breaks down causing "wet out" and your breathable waders are no longer breathable.

If this is the case you can get a dwr treatment called Revive X, Revive X is made for breathable products
and will releieve the condensation buildup in the wader.
Ive done this to my 5 year old cabelas waders and they
breathe as if they were righ out of the box [cool][cool][cool]
