quote:Water inside of waders is not heavier than the water outside of the waders. If it fills up, getting back into the kayak might be an issue but it's not going to drag you to the bottom.
Question: with waders, if you capsize how do you keep from going to the bottom?
There was a thread on here a while ago discussing this same topic.
ETA: There are a bunch of youtube videos on the topic.

I still do not understand why you would consider wearing waders for kayaking. To go hunt in yes, but not kayaking. Especially in the savanah area In that puff mud.
To me it just seems like a big regret to use waders in a kayak especially if you are using them often, buying new and just kayaking.
Through the years I have worn wetsuits, waders, spray suits, bibs and top, and dry suits doing every sport imaginable. (Sailing, kayaking, hunting, fishing, messing around, driving motorboats, etc)
After all that time spent in uncomfortable clothes that are just not right for the job or not up to snuff I finally said screw it. I decided that I would buy the right clothes for the job and since I made that choice I have not looked back.
In 2012 I spent over 100 days on the water in my drysuit and enjoyed almost everyone. I am convinced if I had not had the right equipment for the job I would never have spent that much time out enjoying the outdoors.
It's worth it in the long run to get the right gear for the job IMO.
