Default Leaking waders repair. Again

I know this has been done before. But here goes. I'm just fed up of buying Breathable chest waders and after 2 years or even less they start to leak. I've tried repairing them (Aquasure) and most of the time they still leak. Especially if they are leaking from the seams.

Is there anybody out there that repairs Breathable waders at a reasonable price! It may save me buying a new pair.....Again.....

Done before indeed!
I think it's best to view waders the same as a pair of shoes. I.E. They wear out, more expensive ones normally last a bit longer than cheaper ones.
I've never had a pair that lasted more than 2 years (but I tend to kick the **** ('Bottom'!) out of them with the type of fishing I do).
Having trawled through all the various threads on waders on here the 2 most favourable options seem to be to buy Simms (for durability) or Orvis (for no questions asked replacement).

Thanks Andy. Thanks Mostyn.

Looks like I'm going to have to buy myself a new pair of waders. I'll go down the repair route again first.
