What methods did you find worked best for finding leaks?When I worked at mainstream outfitters I did all the repairs on orvis waders. Maybe see if they do it yet.

I just couldn't resist...That is absolutely incorrect. I have never heard anything so crazy. I've been filling leaky waders for 50 years.

Just kidding... Soapy water works just as well for pennies, when a bright flashlight in a dark room doesn't.A pipe leak detector?
I have used a 4th method for finding wading leaks, that involves blowing them up with a shop vac.
And dabbing regular soap /water mixture on area where I suspect leak.
It works. But I find it rather hard to seal off the top of the waders enough for a tight seal, and dab soap at the same time.

While looking at some of the clothing there, the shirts I saw were made in Peru. Does Orvis make anything in the USA? 🤔Also, I watched a fellow make a $400+ purchase of a couple pairs of shorts and a shirt. It seems Orvis is the Ralph Lauren of the fishing world.
With the $100 I saved on my waders, now I can afford to buy some of that $14 lead-free Orvis shot.Sh!t! I just outed myself as a buyer of Orvis split shot!
I found it interesting that my first two sets of Orvis waders were made in China, yet this set was made in Vietnam.
