Friendly Fire on Chest Waders

[DougP]

Due to general stupidity and bad luck - I shot my chest waders with a blunt tip arrow. These are Cabela’s Instinct breathable wader material. They were hanging in my workshop at the time and the arrow went through multiple layers of material causing some arrow diameter holes and a couple ~2” rips.

Any advice on repairing them? I previously had a small hole in the knee that I successfully patched with tenacious tape from the inside combined with aqua seal. This might work, but wondering if anyone can suggest something more substantial.

I’ve patched many. The best patch material is another piece of breathable wader if you have it and the best glue by far is 3M 5200 Fast Cure. Longer tears can actually be “sewn” closed with a bead of 5200. 5200 also works great for general boot repair.

I've actually had success using JB weld patching waders.
