What to wear when the cold gets here - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Was lookin through kayak fishing supplies
Saw the NRS Rio outer layer package
I'm guessing it keeps you dry
Does it keep you warm
I've never held waders in my hands
But I'm guessing they gotta be kinda thick
Do waders offer some warmth
Maybe waders with a jacket over top
I really got no clue
Excuse my ignorance

I even wear waders during the summer sometimes. Get a breathable pair and just layer underneath. The waders themselves don't really do a whole lot for warmth but do keep you DRY. There are usually some good sales around Black Friday which is coming up. Just keep your eyes out for a good deal.

Long Johns under the waders works fine, again providing you don't get too hot during paddling.

Definitely breathable waders are the way to go and not the neoprene ones.
Actually I had a pair of neoprene ones and did not like them at all. I only used them for fishing.
Hell of a job to get into, especially with the one piece which had boots attached to it.
