Waders VS Neoprene Pants

[User name]

I see the issue being that humans will sink and the waders make it more difficult to swim, self rescue, and resurface. I understand that there are many benefits to wearing waders so if you are going to wear them have a plan for removal in the water as kaya_one mentioned.

Believe me, If you need to get those waders off in a hurry...you will have no problem getting them off. Ditch'em, they float, you can just come around and pick them up after you rescued yourself.

Again, how is the water inside the waders going to sink you if it does not weigh more than the water outside the waders?

Have you ever seen a plastic grocery bag just sit on the surface of the water even though its completely filled with water?

What about a kayak that's completely filled with water? Have you ever seen how they just bob on the surface and do not sink.

I understand what your concern is but waders filled with water will NOT cause you to sink to the bottom of the Mariana trench. Don't believe me? ask Tony.
