That's a nasty gash..but I'm a fan of high temp red silicone gasket sealer. There's some other products that work but that may be simply irre-fixable.
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

Baseball stitch it with dental floss, and apply Aquaseal, or 3M 5200 fast cure over the stitches & tear, and run the glue out past the outside of the stitching, at least 1/4". This will make it good as new. I've patched dozens of sets of waders and raingear this way, over the years, they have all held up well. If you have a smooth surface, like raingear, you need to rough up the area around the tear, with sandpaper, or something abrasive, BEFORE you sew it. The roughed up area will give the glue a good mechanical bond.
