chest waders - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I use a life vest (not a typical pfd) that is used for wake boarding. Not the most bouyant of vests but seals real tight around the top of the waders. But to comment on one aspect of the post.... With breathable waders, rolling them down from top to bottom is easier to do when in water than pulling them down, especially with the suction created when filled with water.... I too grew up in the NW fishing rivers and streams with hip waders, neoprene and breathable chest waders... I know what you mean, but it is different here, like Brad said...
