Hi Tom, I've gone through a couple of Orvis lightweight breathables myself within two years. The leaks are usually within the neoprene booty too. I saw that some of the fly shops carry a spray-on product known as Revivex that is used to repel water from fabrics. I would think Scotchguard would also work. I'm using Hodgeman Neoprenes and the knee guard rip out by the end of second trip just below the stitching. Now I've got a swell knee pocket to hold my stuff, LOL. Ironically, I still have a pair of 15 year old Red Ball Neoprenes that still work. So I'm looking for a new pair of breathables this winter also. Steve Schalla
