Think so on the drysuit? Just wondering.....since I use this setup at the moment. I have hodgman breathable waders and a light waterproof breathable hurricane jacket I wear under it. What happens when you dump while wearing this? Since the waders are open top with a drawstring they would fill with water and you would need to shed them. Doesn't this kinda pose a problem a mile off shore in january? We live in socal but the water is still pretty f'n cold in the middle of winter. I'm just wondering cuz I was looking into a drysuit to have as well as my waders. if its not necissary then that's great since they can be pretty pricey
