For got to mention that's weight per pound. I'll try to let the community center life guards let me jump in with waders on film tomorrow. Tpfr version of myth busters.On if my favorite authors, Ken Miyata drown while wearing waders. I also always wear a pfd on boats.
Sent from my iPhoneYeah really -- Rob, are you sure about those sig figs? ;)--No - I do take this seriously and appreciate the wisdom. I just read a post where some guy went out a few days back and my first thought was "wetsuit"? Cold + Water is nothing to mess with if you don't know what you're doing. And I have no idea honestly -- and I don't want to die before I develop type II diabetes in my 40's. My father says eating whole wheat pasta is a real rush --Gene

I have filled up waders when a boat capsized. I was neutrally buoyant and floated with the current. I was heavy and burdened when exiting the water. Water weighs 8.333 pounds when out of water not in it.

I have yet to be totally submerged while wearing waders and can understand how it would be difficult to get off and boots would make swimming difficult but once you are in the water wouldn't they behave just like normal clothing that is wet (i.e. heavy, movement restricting)?Has anyone been fully submerged or gone into a pool with waders to test this?-Joe--On Wed, Nov 6, 2013 at 8:36 AM, Jeffrey Silvan <jeffre...@gmail.com> wrote:
Gene - please don't wear waders I'm any sort of boat. If you flip in your kayak, your chances of survival are very low. If they fill with water, they'll become an anchor and be almost impossible to get off. Neoprene helps since they fit tighter and tend to float (without being filled with you and water), but still isn't the safest. Maybe just throw a rain suit over your warm clothes?

The idea interests me, but I don't own a Mustad survival suit and was wondering how to not die out there. Even paddling drips a fair amount of water into the kayak ----I guess I could just put on the neoprene chest waders and layer up?Any wisdom you'd like to pass along?Thanks --
