arpie Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 (edited) 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!

Mik Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Mythbusters beware! Thanks very much for sharing that Roberta. I've been wondering how safe my waders are. Very interesting video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpie Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 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 ....)

Mik Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Agreed the belt looks to be the key. Think I'll be investing in a belt very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noisy Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 roberta.... fishing hat head in june/july...out come the trusty 3/4 wet suite keeps me warm if i fall over in the surf no worries and i can stay out as long as i like... i tried wadders but i found them to awkward and dangerous..and i found you can pick up a wet suit at garage sales and local markets....bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
