I am, mainly to rejuvenate the seams so don't think it effects the breath ability much. Just turn inside out and paint seams.

Great, that's exactly what I was looking for, gonna give it a shot

If anybody is looking to do an emergency repair on a tear in breathables I can recommend duct tape. A patch inside and out and you are done.
I carried out a repair one April after sitting on barbed wire and although the waders ended up binned for leaks elsewhere a season later, the patch never leaked.
Protect the edge.

My breathables are pouring in from all over but I can't seem to find any holes would I just paint the entire thing?

Suppose you could do but they'd stop being 'breathables' and just become 'waders'  :lol:
Sure it would work though Liam. Gaffer tape In the boot isn't a bad shout Alex

Another instant repair option for a known thorn puncture or barbed wire hole are Stickies  which are used for inner tube repairs on cycle tyres.  A quick look in Halfords or a check in Amazon will bring up a few "peel off the backing" glue patches. I have had a Stickies repair on a pair for three years.
