damp crotch from my Snowbee classics.

[mick dunn]

I bought a lovely pair of second hand Snowbee waders off e-bay last year but was conned.
They look fine until you wear them and you go above thigh hieght-then my ba--s get wet.
No rips or tears i just think the neoprene is worn but it looks fine.
Checked on flea bay for some type of water resistant spray for neoprene but unable to find anything.
I am watching some Sonik studded waders at £120 but in two minds.
I diud buy some Diawa new before the Snowbees but these were rubbish and leaked after a few sessions.
Main reason i want them is for the reservoirs and beach.

Might be worth going over the seams with a dab of Stormseal - older neoprenes often seem to go around the crotch. Or you could pump them full of air & plunge them in the bath to see if there's a pinhole leak somewhere.

Cheaper to have them repaired any dive shop will put a patch on for you.

If you fix those waders i will personally ensure you die a horrible slow painful death. You convinced me last week that once chesties started to leak they were finished.

Hence why mine got threw in the bin!!! if you manage to fix yours i will not be a happy bunny !! :red:

if true.... tut tut mick lol

Bearing in mind its his b**ls geting wet so the leak could be near the ankle

Mick............ I think your just getting wet with excitement (around that region) with all the trout your catching !

 

[The Great Wallsendo]

Buying second hand waders is surely tantamount to buying second hand underpants - not something I would do for sure!

Nothing worse than betty swallocks.

Get yourself along to the new North East Angling Show on the 15th, 16th and 17th April and take a look at the Waders and Waterproofs from a company called VASS.
I'm sure you will be impressed both with the products and the prices.
Its being held at the Seaburn Centre, Sunderland.

mick i think its a common fault on the snowbee clasics i have 2 pair and they both soak your sack

 

[Mike.Haley]

Snowbee will have a stand at the show as well, so you could take the problem up with them there.

 

[mick dunn]

Thanks for the replies lads. The good new is my sack soon dried out once they were off. The bad news is i really do need new ones theres no getting away from it-i,m just peed off as they do look fine-no holes or tears-its just age related the neoprene must disintegrate.
Now how much do i owe on the credit card.
