There’s nothing worse than your chest waders leaking. That moment you feel the cool, slight trickle of water down your leg or on your toe instantly puts you off and out of the mind set of fishing. All you can think about is how cold you’re getting and the amount of water that’s seemingly emptying the river and filling your waders at a rate of knots.
Here at Fishtec we have created the best wader repair kits for permanent fixes or for a temporary fix on the side of the river.
