Why not? How many negligent events does it take to break something? Maybe when they were in your truck something punctured them?
Remember that green bag I always put mine in? That's so when they're in my truck they are protected from getting punctured.

They were in the back of my truck frozen from the hunt the day before. So I took them and put them in my warm truck on the way to hunt so i didn't have to put on ice cold waders. Is it possible the rapid change in temps caused them to condensate on the inside? Or are they leaking? Waders I've had In the past had localized leak spots. Never seen or heard of this happening before. It would have to be dry rot or something if every seam is leaking right?

Any moisture thats in them from sweat on the previous days hunt could draw in more moisture if left in the cold outdoors. I use a boot dryer religiously during the winter months for not only my waders, but also my everyday boots and hunting boots. Since I started doing this I have noticed a huge change in how my feet stay warmer for a longer duration. I cant guarantee it, but there may be nothing wrong with your waders other than the need for a good drying out on the inside, unless you some how cracked them in a frozen spot when removing them from your truck bed. Anyway, sorry to hear this and hope it works out for you.

It's all sweat man. My waders are wet to the touch on the inside after every hunt. I sweat like a mother, but I also wear cabalas wader pants that wick the moisture away from my skin really well.

Flint I bet your waders had some trapped moisture from sweat and condensate. But having them wet and froze will ruin them eventually.

That's what I'm figuring. I wear those too. Add in wools socks and it's probly a recipe for disaster.
