How Dangerous Are Waders If You Fall In The Water .....

Hi guys

Came upon this video when researching breathable waders - he tried just about everything to see how much water could get into his waders & whether he would sink or not ....... with the belt around the tummy, it just wasn't going to happen even if he didn't have a pfd on!

Hi Boof

The important thing would seem to be always to have the belt on reasonably tight! He covered pretty well every situation, I reckon! The breathable waders are just so much more comfortable than the PVC or neoprene ones (except in really cold conditions, then neo comes into its own ....)

Cheers
