RE:New Orvis Clearwater flaw
Sounds like their heart was in the right place, but the thought of two water baloons on my knees was enough to make me cringe a bit.
I suppose you could either plug the tops, open the bottoms up, plug both, or open up both more. Given those options, I would probably choose to open the bottom holes bigger since they are a superficial layer over the actual wader. Without seeing the stitching and patternwork I can't say whether that's good or bad; I assume you are talking 'plug top' because your eyes tell you it's the best option.
IN any case, thank goodness for AQUASEAL!
