That water is cold this time of year, better get your waders patched up. If you’ve got a pair of Simms or other Gore-Tex based waders, you need to watch this video to see how to repair leaks. By the way, you may notice the video production is getting a little better — you asked for it, we’re working on it. The trick is to really douse those things in alcohol, and the way my waders smell after a long winter steelhead season, a good antiseptic bath can’t hurt.

Does it work with the new Gore Pro Shell fabric package they introduced this year?

Yes it does work, the darkening of the inside material is just a bit tougher to see but the same procedures are effective.
Good Luck
