This keeps being mentioned, and it is true. But to swim or maneuver in waders, all the weight of water inside the waders has to move with your legs, and displace the weight of water outside the waders. The more water in the waders, that harder it is.
I always try to make sure i carry my pocket knife to try and cut out of the wader legs, but that's probably not going to happen in a panic situation.

yes but one does not sink because of this.
and no.. you ain't cutting them loose....
like I have said my 300 yard swim then yes, now.. cardiac arrest.....
but the drop off dunkings in between - calm reaction - I lived, panic I died -with or without waders.
