Waders VS Neoprene Pants

[Ojos_raros]

I have never liked the idea of wearing waders: they seem too warm, I don't like the booties, and the thought of those things filling up with water? Pass.

The majority of days you kayak fish are 70 degrees, no wind days in which you don't need waders. For 10 years, summer and winter, I wore surf trunks.

For the few days every year you want pants, you can get Kokatat kayak pants - they have tight neoprene at the waist and at the ankles too. The best part is that I can take off those suckers while on the kayak and throw them into the hatch. Not sure if you can do that with waders?
