Duck Tape

go to academy and buy some sneaker or shoe glue. turn them inside out and patch the inside w/ about a silver dollar size patch of glue. once it dries in about a day or so, patch the other side the same way. the glue will adhere to itself and the waders and make a nice patch. not pretty, but works. i've done this with both breathables and neoprenes and am on the second year on both. the waders are leaking in other places now but the patches are still good.

I saw an ad in Texas SW Fishing for a local wader company. They were like $60.
