Waders or Dry Pants or top

[mtnbykr2]

welcome to the addiction,
Imo, you need waders for surf launches and landings, colder weather, which I don't think you will need to worry about for a few months now, you will want to find waders with a front zipper, for you know what, and easier exit and entry. I have Simms waders but I am looking to replace them with a zipper in front. A dry top comes in handy for drizzly mornings and colder weather.
As far as dry pants try a few on, I haven't found anything better than some quality zip-offs you stay fairly dry and you can peel off the bottom half when hot...
