Hemming .5mm Neoprene Pants (for Canyons, Rivers)

I may be wrong but I don’t think neoprene will fray. If it doesn’t, you can fold over once and sew it with a straight stitch. If it does fray, fold it over twice. If you don’t have a sewing machine you can hem your pants with a needle and thread. As a short person I have spent many hours hemming pants with needle and thread.

You are right, something I didn’t know.  Thanks!

if it doesn’t fray then you don’t need to do anything?

I assume you’re shortening the legs?  Just cut it off a little long and see what happens.  If it frays unacceptably, then hem it

liquid neoprene cement is available for wetsuit repair. I surf, so i’ve used it to patch gloves and wetsuits. it works ok – pretty stretchy and durable. could be helpful here, not sure. I agree that the neoprene shouldn’t fray, but you might still need something at the seam.
