most waders come with a repair kit when new with the correct patch and glue for the job,if they are neoprean i have some glue and some repair patch if your stuck :lol: if its a big hole you can make a repair on both sides to make it stronger :wink:

that would be great but your a bit far for me, 6 hour round trip and with the price of fuel and the truck i drive it would be cheaper to buy a new pair, but the next time i am in your general dierction i'll be calling in for supplies

Depending on how big the hole is in the waders, halfords have a thing called Leeches Bike Tyre Repair Patches and are meant to work well on small holes etc in PVC waders!!
