I was salmon fishing on the Klickitat River wearing neoprene waders and yard sale'd the kayak into forty two degree water. I was not wearing a belt and the waders instantly filled with water. It was very difficult to flip the kayak and get back in.
I can say from direct first hand experience, if you wear waders in a kayak, wear a belt.

The only two problems I have with my waders is of course the belt. Never go out without it.
Trying to take a leak using waders without a zipper. You almost have to strip down to your knees just to accomplish that feat.

Ah, fall in San Diego. Calm sunny days, a bit of a chill in the mornings, the Chargers stumbling to yet another disappointing season, and the inevitable "waders of death" thread. Although just like Christmas advertising, it seems to come earlier every year.

Maybe we should start a pool for the first GW shark thread of the year. I'll say Feb 12th.

Pretty cool demo the guy did, none the less.

Having served 8 years in the Coast Guard, 4 of those being on the north shore of Long Island, I can't begin to tell you all the wader horror stories I've either been witness to. I've even had a couple of close calls myself having spent many winters chasing trout with a fly rod. When wearing the waterproof style chest waders, always leave one shoulder unstrapped so in the event you go under you can swim out of them. I have no experience wearing any type of waders while in a kayak so I can't speak on that.

Leaving town for the week tomorrow night. I wish each and everyone of you a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving.
