re: Can you actually drown in waders?

Yes. I haven't done this but the old timers always say one should jump in the deep end of a pool with waders on to get the sensation and try to get out with a friend there to help. So in a real life event you semi know what to expect.

TLDR: Yes you can. Be safe.

and while you're at it try to remove waders while in the water..... you'll quickly learn that ain't an option.
