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

I have had the neoprene style hodgman's for about 15 years - used to use them in my float tube - used them in my yak for a year. paid $40 at sportmart as well.

They work well for their purposes, keeping me warm and dry but sometimes too warm - neoprene will keep you warmer than the breathable but sometimes warmer than you would like when the sun comes out. I wear board shorts under so if I get hot I will take the waders off and stick em in the hatch. There are trade offs between the two like most things.
