Breathable waders and drysuits are laminated fabrics, so every patch has to be sealed, not just sewn. We patch pinholes and tears, re-tape lifting seams, rebuild high-wear knees and seats with new panels, and replace front zippers and sliders on both waders and drysuits.
Tell us where you get wet on the repair order. We find the leaks in that area, mark them and patch them. If the fabric itself has delaminated, we tell you straight and recommend the Pass Down recycling program instead of a repair that will not hold.
Waders must arrive clean and dry. Add a Tech Wash if they have been in the water recently and we clean them first.

Questions about waders & drysuits
How do you find a leak?
We inspect the area you flag on the order and mark every pinhole and seam leak before patching. Describe where you get wet and roughly how fast.
Can neoprene booties be repaired?
Often. Seam leaks and small tears in neoprene can be patched or re-seamed; a full bootie replacement depends on how the wader was built and is quoted after we see it.
Do you repair drysuit zippers?
Waterproof drysuit zippers are assessed first. Some can be replaced; we confirm the part and the price before any work.

You guys repaired a black Mountain Hardware shell jacket for me. Both the pit zippers were coming apart. You did an awesome job. The craftsmanship is outstanding. Thank you
I just received back the jacket I sent you for repair. Two things: First, holy moly, that was fast!! Second, you did an amazing job. The repair is unrecognizable as a repair, just perfect, and the zipper runs smoother than I recall it running even when new.
To the RPR Team, I just received the repaired tent. The repair is damn awesome!! Crazy good. Awesome. Great work.
