I recently spent two days pushing through some rather prickly shrubs in the Victorian Alps (around Mt MacDonald) whilst wearing my waterproof 2.5 layer pants. These plants had a single sharp point on the end of each leaf and consequentially I now have lots of pinholes in the front of said pants. They now leak with water slowly coming through these pin holes. Short of throwing the pants away, I have thought I have a few options, ignore the leaks, patch/glue over the area with another layer of waterproof material, or 'paint' the inside with a dilute silicon solution and accept the 'breathability ' will be lessened. Anyone have any suggestions or advice?
Thanks
