Repair Patches
If you’ve got holes or two in your gear, you might want to consider adding some adhesive patches to your rep kit. These patches are made of an ultra-high-performance adhesive that is applied to a tough polyurethane back that allows the tear to heal under pressure. Available in clear and colored options They offer durability against punctures, moisture saltwater, sunlight and temperature extremes.
If your kit doesn’t include any of the items above it is possible to think about adding a waterproof Aquaseal wader sealant.

Let the sealant cure for up to 12 hours prior to applying the repaired gear.
