I already have a pair. I hunt out of a pirogue but usually stay in it and wear normal pants with boots.

I don't think I have ever gone duck hunting where I didn't have to put a pair of waders on haha

Drake makes a pair of 6 pocket waterproof pants. They also make a waterproof pair of "over-pants". Stick with the 6 pockets. They are awesome

I've never hunted WITH waders. Hip boots only.
To the OP, Gortex. 100% waterproof and breathable.

I'm looking at a pair of drake wader pants for Christmas to wear under hip boots. I'm interested in this thread.

Boats, how will they keep you dry? Seriously. I'd recommend gore-tex overalls. Big enough to slip over the hip boots.

It's just for splashes and stuff. I just need something that doesn't soak up water and is insulated.
If I go over the hip boots it doesn't matter, I'm getting soaked if I start having that problem I'll just get waders

Oh, I'm thinking standing in a pit blind and rain. The pants on the inside would funnel the water instead of shed. I'm obviously not understanding the situation here.

Sitting in a climber with hip boots in the swamp, sitting on a log or the ground in the swamp, standing in a pond, sitting in a boat blind, and whatever duck hunting situations I get invited into

Gortex bibs, but if I'm going and it's raining I'm putting on my neoprene waders.

Only time I've duck hunted without waders is from a boat in a lake. That being said I have a pair of Columbia bibs that are the tits.
