I think the important thing to remember, whether you want to use waders or kayak pants. Safety is the most important thing, it's #1. From what I have seen is a lot of the people using waders don't use the chest "safety belt", without that any fall in the water is instantly going to fill it up or close to it with water. That makes it very dangerous. You won't sink, but you will have a very hard time standing up if you are in shallow water. If you are in open water there is no way you are getting back in your ride without taking them off. I have some neoprene waders I use when duck hunting and I would never enter any water deeper than 2 feet without using the "safety chest belt". That is why they make it, to slow down the amount of water that can get inside if you end up in the water with the level above the chest opening. If you use wader don't forget the SAFETY CHEST BELT, they cost like $10. Isn't your life worth more than that.
