Is there a reason you want waders instead of wetsuit bottoms? I've been happy with 1.5mm wetsuit bottoms and a 0.5mm wetsuit top.

BRO YOU ARE GOING TO DIE!!!
But really, anything from Simms. Nice waders. I got a set from East County bait and tackle a little while back and they are sweeeeeeet. Waders beats wetsuit bottoms for staying dry and comfy, especially when it gets shitty. But that's kind of a personal comfort thing, Ben, so if you don't mind paddling in a wetsuit, then don't let anybody stop you. Clearly it's not slowing you down ![]() |

Be sure to get one with zippers.
It will cost more, but if you are at certain age that urine frequently, it will be worth the extra cost. Simms is too expensive due to its name. Redington ha some for $250.00 plus tax with zippers. I am having difficulty getting out of my Hodgman, but a Lyrica under layer helps. I would ware them under my wetsuit for ease of putting on and taking off. |

I just got some of these this season, been really happy with them so far and cant beat the price. I'm in the "replace every/everyother season" camp.

The least expensive
and replacing them every season, because the moment you throw a toad on your lap your gonna spring some holes.

🤣🤣🤣 thanks for the response guys ive had the nrs pants and jacket for the last 5 years. Been pretty happy with them on calm days, but when there's surf they will allow water to creep inside making them pointless. Its time for waders! Gracias

Those are good
for a hot summer day to protect your skin from the sun's rays while atop a PA, after you have made it through the surf with your waders. Waders undoubtably are like wearing a trash bag and board shorts don't offer any protection from the sun. I think a big part of it, is what kind of kayak you are riding on. Is it a wet ride? Personally I prefer staying dry as possible. Try the frogg toggs hellbender stocking foot waders. They are a Amazons choice. I currently own a pair. It won't break the bank either at around 90$. Also, it is recommended to put on some sort of gravel guard or dive boot atop the wader stocking foot. This will extend the life of the wader. The dive boot should run slightly larger to fit the stocking foot booty. A good boot is around 30$. Stick with the low cuff. This will allow an easy on and off fit. 2mm boot is plenty thick.
