Thanks shambo, that sounds a little easier that taz's option. Whatever about using a needle to baitup worms it out of the question to use one fixing a suit...............

You could try this as well, it's good for treating breathable waders as well.

any 'good' outdoor or camping store carry all the watering proof stuff ye need...if ye going to spray Jackets/Suits...hang them in a garage/outhouse for few days to dry and use cord/string to keep arms/legs from sticking...well worth it :o

Use the Nikwax wash and the reproofer, DO NOT use normal detergent.
